What is the best argument against Karl Marx's labor theory of value?

Post quotes that people want to pretend do not exist.

>In closing I would like to remind my readers that Communism is just a theory. I could be wrong and if the Great Revolution has failed to occur by the end of the 21st century than my theories will have been falsified. In the event that my theory was in error, my only hope is that it did not lead to the lose of any human lives.

What is required leftist reading?

Delusional utopian writer who caused untold suffering to millions and who's theoretical works were taken to heart by huge self indulgent assholes? No problem

To all of our /fit/ friends, I urge you to seize the means production. Don't let the capitalists control the gyms, weights, protein shakes and fitness materials.

OPIUM

He opened my eyes.

>Show me a socialist

why did he ever leave russia?

“He is proud of his trashy peculiarity and his peculiar trashiness.”
— Karl Marx on Max Stirner

>Marx in charge of arguments

Yes

So there is Marxist-Leninism, Maoism, Luxembourgism, Marxist Leninism, Juche, Council Communism, Autonomism, Anarcho-Communism, Syndicalism, Social Democracy, Green Socialism, Socialism with Chinese characteristics etc etc etc

The question I have to ask.. did Marx himself write about how he envisioned a Socialist society and how he saw the revolution going down?

If he did, where did he write about this?

I remember reading here on /lit/ a discussion about I think it was called the "Organic Consumption of Capital" and for some reason, there was actually a reason that Capitalists try to not automate their entire process of production.

Can anyone explain this concept further? Most people seem to say that there will be mass unemployment in the future, because everything will be automated, but I remember you guys explaining how Marx explained this may not actually be the case.

Just how dumb do you have to be to not see that Marxism is a.completely failed ideology?

Guys, guys, guys. It's time to wake up.

The Universities are almost entirely occupied by Marxists of various shades, in particular the Humanities departments as opposed to the politically neutral STEM disciplines.

Point is, you have come under heavy Marxist propaganda. Not just in Universities but in books, films, TV, etc.

A part of me wants to slap you people for being so stupid as to be deceived by these cockroaches, but I was very nearly sold on Marxism myself at one point and I know how seductive the propaganda is.

In the French Revolution the ancien regime, Catholic Church & Catholic Monarch, was overthrown. In the place of the Catholic priesthood and Catholic aristocracy the amoral, wealth-worshipping bourgeoisie was installed as leaders. Now, the same nihilistic, spiteful, bloodthirsty people that overthrew the aristocracy continued in their destructive ways and invented Socialism (and eventually Communism) in order to murder the bourgeoisie the same way that they murdered the aristocracy.

These people are motivated by hatred of God and hatred of humanity.

>tfw you read so much political-economy that you don't even need to pretend to understand the social process of production or hate vulgar economy, it all comes naturally
>gave up on some Hegelian philosophy because of the awful reactionary cant - and when it's good I don't obsess over whether or not the author is an "idealist"
>don't care about language at all - could be French; still no fucks given
>utopian socialism is the bastion of pathetic petite bourgeois
>consider Proudhon to have a better grasp of money than Bastiat (fucking embarrassing for the bag-men of free trade)
>consider all Malthus' material to be plagiarized, no exceptions
>borrowed some money from the General to buy a recent "Introduction to Political-Economy" by some Yankee political economist and dumped it in the bin after 13 pages because it was just a vulgarization of Adam Smith (srs, as if J.B. Say wasn't bad enough)

[INSERT ANY jewish 'THINKER' HERE.]

What do I read if I want to understand Marxism? Capital? The Communist Manifesto?

>Last words are for fools who haven’t said enough.
Say what you will about Marx (I'm not a huge fan of this myself), but that's pretty badass.

Also, this a last words thread.

What piece of Marx's work would you consider the best from a straight up literary standpoint?
