I can guarantee that book has stopped many peasants from dying, many diseases from breaking out, and many venereal diseases from even coming into existence.

Meanwhile The Communist Manifesto is responsible for creating many new peasants, has created many different strains of HIV to be spread throughout Marxist festivalgoers with poor morals, and has caused many illicit children to be born who are indoctrinated into the Marxist theory of social behavior, which essentially utilizes the many living vessels as landmines to socially progress a Marxist agenda, turtle-like, into the foray of public discussion.

I can guarantee The Republic has caused many new adherents to an objective-moral based form of progressive ideology.

Somehow a concrete form of how people should function could be mandated to favor those whose ideas and conception of 'the good' (an Aristotleian and Platonic term) is nearest to the objective truth of this, instead of taking the harmful Nietzschean stance to say that every other person's idea of morality in general is the correct one.

This idea necessarily causes people to deviate in the correct behavior, as 1 and 1 cannot make anything but 2, and subjective morality or moral nihilism makes the answer necessarily incorrect no matter what, the building blocks of life no longer consisting in similar elements but chaotically and of a sect-creating nature, of different forms of life.

Morally, and biologically, this ideology does not hold. The pre-socratics preceded Socrates for a reason. Both Plato and Aristotle created the whole of philosophy on a science of figuring out objective reasoning and how best to approximate it within society and civilization as a whole, epistemologically and teleologically.

You need to read up on Hegel and his Phenomenology of Spirit. Hegel was a known occultist and part of a heretical religious-philosophical movement known as German Idealism. Most of them initially were training to be ministers but Immanuel Kant had put an epistemological fence around God and put serious doubt into any true knowledge about God. This deeply disturbed Hegel and his group so they turned to the writing of the subversive Jew, Baruch Spinoza, who was exiled for his radical political and philosophical views. Spinoza outlined a conception of an immanent God which was rejected by most of his contemporary philosophers and theologians. Kant had barred off actual knowledge of a transcendental God, so the German Idealists went with trying to realize the immanent God Spinoza had written over a century earlier. They had set out to work on the project which they named "the system" where the completion of the system would bring about god or Spirit. Hegel's plan's on how to complete the system was a very convoluted theory that truth had a historical dimension to it which necessarily involved conflicts. The end of these conflicts was the absolute truth which was Spirit. Hegel distilled all of this into his version of dialectics where all ideas had underlying contradictions which was to be exploited. Hegel had completed the system when he finished his Science of Logic and by the time he already died, the contradictions he had spoken of already appeared between the left and right hegelians, who subsequently caused numerous revolutions in Europe in the 1830's and 1840's.Marx was a deep reader of hegel and directly borrowed Hegel's dialectics and his idea of spirit, which Marx called a "specter haunting europe" at the beginning of his manifesto. Many other Marxists such as Lenin, the Frankfurt school, Zizek, and Fukuyama were well read in Hegel. It's not really known whether Hegel's occult magic is still working beyond his grave but the Indians have a competing attempt in trying to realize their god "Vishnu", which they claim resides inside the BSV blockchain. Hegel was known as a furious critic of Hinduism.

A different answer is some very important contribution to science and technology, maybe something by Newton, because without that the industrial revolution and the greatly increased power to do harm would not have happened. Idk if this is stretching the spirit of the question too much. Idk if just bulding the steam engine relies much on math or science, but we couldnt have reached the levels of power on hand in the 20th century without them.

What really started in the 1060's as soviet attempts to subvert the US and indoctrinate leftists was really in actuality Russian shitposters indoctrinating white Americans into white nationalism and tricking them into forming a world-wide ethno-alliance between the slavs and the anglo-germanic white Americans to subdue the minorities.

liberal capitalism in England didn't off the kings the way it did in France, unless you want to count the glorious revolution, which is really stretching things. It just gradually overcame the old systems through incremental reform and outcompeting everything else.

I understand the idea that communist attempts at making worker-owned companies would be crushed but idk if that's really true everywhere, there's that one in Spain right?, and if there were a bunch of them succeeding all the time people would be a lot more friendly towards communism. But you guys want this totalitarian upheaval of the state into something that just looks like dictatroship to most people, and not of the proles, but of a small party or just a man.

Why would the state care if it was taxing worker owned or capitalist owned companies? Capitalists dont literally run the government they just have influence on it through lobbying and influence in the press, the situation is a lot more complicated.

Obviously im not a marxist and I get all these complicated ideas involved in his theory about the way shit has to progress, and furthermore I dont actually care about your cause, i dont mind working in capitalist society, or in some functioning socialist society, it's all the same to me so long as the government isnt acting fucking insane. all the same I dont understand why there aren't more companies like that one in Spain, and why this isn't a larger talking point for socialists.

That first point you made is an important one. It’s the reason why thinkers such as Edmund Burke had cautioned against the French Revolution.

The way that the French Revolution occurred and the leaders put in charge showed an impetuous petulance that was unrivaled at the time.

We need some sort of authority in charge who aren’t money bankers, as bankers destroyed most of the church land under the French Revolution as they would under a Marxist (atheist) revolution.

I’m trying to help you, and hopefully others understand, that the more rash, the more rage induced, the revolution, it seems to be the more likely that bankers will be in charge after it.

It's not a term you're going to accept because it doesn't come from academia in the sense in which it's being used here, but the concept is very simple for the people who use it. It's the idea that the economic prole as sanctified victim was replaced by racial, religious, sexual, etc. minorities.

It's more talking about the ethical framework and what society focuses on now than meaning the evolution of Marxist though. It's a very basic slave morality argument, and that's really it, the right have noticed that academics and popular culture don't really talk about class much anymore but focus on the other idpol things so they made a dumb name for it, as people are wont to do, and they're going to continue to use it because that's how language works and you can't just control how everyone terms things.

The fact that marxists fall in line with prog doctrine almost all the time makes it especially hard for the right to tell you apart, because it's the progressivism they really hate, they dont think about communism very much anymore. Basically classical marxists are just seen as progs with some other weird leftwing ideas, your central defining feature to the right is your progressivism.

There is no rigid hierarchy, ya dip. Most likely in any nationwide economic decision scheme, all four of those have major overlap. How these things work is that there are always political decisions affecting the corporate sphere and corporate decisions affecting the political sphere and military sphere etc etc.

It’s why it comes down to a hyperspace n-dimensional Analysis where a Ben diagram would fit for two interested parties.

How about this: Das Kapital is a largely inferior form of visualizing economics, as the economic rate of growth has actually been shown to be a constant rate, contradicting Marx’s underconsumption theory.

That and he looks at wage as price-adding processes instead of value-adding processes. He associates the gradual lowering of wage rates to exploitation but doesn’t realize that it’s because a larger amount of profit is going towards capital owners, while capital becomes restricted (a point espoused by Louis Kelso).

It’s like all you’re doing is finding some sort of discernible pattern in my replies and trying to argue based on that rather than the actual points I’m trying to make.

Marx’s Theory was underconsumption, that the growth rate would eventually completely stall, along with profits. Not understanding this would be a criminal misunderstanding of Marx.

Variable capital includes wages. But fixed capital would take up more of the productive labor over time. Under Marx’s system, the price of the goods would stay the same while representing a lower variable capital portion. If wages were supposed to stay the same the price would have to increase leading to decreased spending.do you see how I’m doing more typing and explaining than you? It’s because you’re bad at debating. :3

My argument is that wages should go up in value as the workers produce more and the only reason they don’t is because 1) capital is not diffused and 2) workers rights are not diffused

Marx focused on wealth diffusion and price increases and decreases, not capital and actual value.

Therein lies the difference

this just isn't true. you think his falling rate of profit theory proposes that profits will "completely stall?" the point is that the ROP will decline suring long-wave periods of expansion, then rise during depressions.

variable capital IS wages, on Marx's view.
>Under Marx’s system, the price of the goods would stay the same while representing a lower variable capital portion. If wages were supposed to stay the same the price would have to increase leading to decreased spending.
I really don't know what you mean by "under Marx's system." are you suggesting he prescribed an economic system wherein this ought to be the case? or are you saying that this describes Marx's conception of capitalism? either is incorrect.

Workers rights, the ideas that matter in the long run, to be able to comfortably live while provided for by a company or organization you add value to.

I fail to see how this sort of thing is impossible from where we are now without a violent revolution

The first two points: you’re right. The next one, you’re wrong. As a matter of fact I know that is Marx’s conception of how underconsumption works.

Marx’s economics is based on underconsumption and Keynes on overconsumption. It’s why both systems are inherently flawed.

In addition, Marx added a level of moral subjectivity into his system and built his point around a common political rallying cry inherent within Democracy, hence why many poltical philosphers like Tocqueville and Schumpeter saying that the coming democratic ending could unleash chains upon humanity through a willingness to be controlled by an organized economic body, Marxist communism certainly does not respect worker’s rights in this way in the slightest. :3

you'd have to explain to me what you take "Marx’s conception of how underconsumption" to be, because, as I said, the mainstream view among Marx scholars is that he rejected underconsumptionist theories.
>In addition, Marx added a level of moral subjectivity into his system and built his point around a common political rallying cry inherent within Democracy, hence why many poltical philosphers like Tocqueville and Schumpeter saying that the coming democratic ending could unleash chains upon humanity through a willingness to be controlled by an organized economic body, Marxist communism certainly does not respect worker’s rights in this way in the slightest. :3
don't really see what any of this has to do with the topic at hand (Marx's theory of value).

Because his idea of underconsumption hinges on a justification derived from chapter four of Ricardo’s Principles of Political Economy, which Marx cites In Das Kapital.

And it's a brain dead thing to say if anyone knew anything about anything.
Classes in Marxism aren't just "what people identify with". Classes are created in accordance to their relationship with the means of production. The Capitalists (the owners) // The workers (the non-owners).
Any sorts of group thinking or classification or us vs them thinking is NOT Marxism. The Slave vs master morality is a very good example of that.
I don't give a fuck what "the right" thinks society is like today. When they say things like this they just prove how ignorant, paranoid and clueless about modern ideological movements they are.
Also "marxists fall in line with prog doctrine almost all the time" That's wrong i many cases. Communist parties around the world have taken positions against many modern "progressists" thinking. They tend to be against immigration, pro-nuclear, against identity politics, against delocalization of capital and other.
The right saying that theses trends in modern politics are "Neo Marxists" when in fact they are just the logical continuation of the Neo-liberal movements they keep putting in power all over the globe since the start of the cold war is an incredible case of modern scapegoating.

>This wholly contradicts Ricardo’s doctrine of value, likewise his theory of profit, which is in fact a theory of surplus-value. In general he considers the distinction between fixed and circulating capital only to the extent that different proportions of both of them in equally large capitals invested in different branches of production influence the law of value, particularly the extent to which an increase or decrease of wages in consequence of these conditions affects prices. But even within this restricted investigation he commits the gravest errors on account of his confusing fixed and circulating with constant and variable capital. Indeed, he starts his analysis on an entirely wrong basis. In the first place, in so far as the part of the capital-value laid out in labour-power has to be classified under the head of circulating capital, the definitions of circulating capital itself are wrongly developed, particularly the circumstances which place the part of capital laid out in labour under this head. In the second place there is a confusion of the definition according to which the part of capital invested in labour is variable capital with the definition according to which it is circulating capital, as opposed to fixed capital.

"invoke" just means "reference" so I don't know what you mean.

well I asked if you could provide an excerpt that supports your claim that Marx proposed an underconsumptionist theory, because as far as I see, he doesn't in that chapter.
