Marxism After Marx | Super-Exploitation
It is well-understood in Marxist theory that capitalists can extract more value from the labor process by increasing the rate of exploitation. However, a later contribution made by Ruy Mauro Marini explored the possibility of capitalists paying workers less than the amount needed for reproduction. This super-exploitation plays a key role in the contemporary global economy and reflects a stark gap between the Global North and the Global South.

The Marxist Lens: Burnout and the Algorithm

RUclips has become a neat microcosm of the alienation that characterizes the capitalist mode of production.

    The video fundamentally misunderstands idealism. It treats all forms of idealism as if they were subjective idealism, a specific type of philosophy akin to sollipsism and essentially represented by Berkeley. This mistake excludes a lot philosophers, from Plato and Aristotle to Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, and Hegel, who would all be considered idealists but not subjective idealists. They believed in the existence of reality beyond individual perception Ontological idealism proposes that the fundamental nature of existence is shaped by non-material rational principles to which matter is subjugated. These rational principles would provide the order to the world we experience. Epistemological idealism would entail that cognition is fundamentally shaped by rational principles within the mind that organize perception into understanding (Meaning things like causality, space, time, being... are the tools of the mind to paint it's canvas of the world). Political idealism I guess would posit that ideal principles guide social, political, historical... events and relations. By giving a flawed account of this the video misinforms the audience, it does not address the topic of marxist materialism VS idealism, and it's later jump towards the (insufficient and intellectually disingenuous) definition of political idealism and arguments that could be categorized as such, seems as non-sequitur.

    One example is EV vs. public transport: Under capitalism it's much more profitable if everyone buys their own electric vehicle. But the way more ecologic option would be public transport, a couple rentable cars, and bicycles. Another is longevity: Under capitalism it's beneficial if products die after a few years, and replacements are bought. A planned economy could design products with max. longevity in mind, so that eg. one vacuum cleaner could pass through generations.

    The most frustrating about this is how the result of so much struggle could be dissolved so quickly. It took a revolution against the tsar-empire, a fight against nazi-germany, a subsequent cold-war to build and sustain this union, and just a few years of mismanagement and reappearance of nationalism to end it. The soviet-union might not have been perfect by any means, but they were a large entity that offered an alternative to the capitalist mode of production. Now in it's place there's just another empire with a fascist leader.

    In Capital, Marx begins his analysis with an already existing capitalist economy. Marx can't explain how the capitalist economy came into existence because such an economy couldn't come into existence according to Marx's peculiar analysis of the capitalist economy where surplus-value created capital must first exist, but since surplus-value doesn't exist yet, there can be no capital to begin the capitalist economy. To overcome this inherent contradiction in Marx's "investigation", he begins Capital where we find an already existing capitalist economy: “The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as “an immense accumulation of commodities," its unit being a single commodity. Our investigation must therefore begin with the analysis of a commodity.” The "investigation" needs to begin with how the commodities came into existence, that is how the capitalist economy came into existence, an oversight necessitated by a fraud. Let's see if we can commence the Capitalist economy using the following Marxist tautology, "Hitherto we have investigated how surplus-value emanates from capital; we have now to see how capital arises from surplus-value.":* (1) What do we need to initiate the Capitalist economy? Capital, of course. (2) So let's get some capital...where is this capital, according to Marx? (3) We get capital from surplus value, Marx tells us, "capital arises from surplus-value." (4) Okay, so let's get some surplus value to get capital. Where can we find surplus value, according to Marx? (5) "Surplus value emanates from capital", Marx's tautologically informs us! ------------------------- * Capital, Chapter 24, first sentence (1867)

    Marxists and their Satanist puppet masters, when caught in a lie their responses has nothing to do with the opponent's observation. We see this with Marx concerning his embarrassing non-reply reply to fellow socialist, Pierre Joseph Proudhon, regarding the latter's devastating critique of Marx's [whole] Materialist philosophy: Marx posits this Materialist philosophy with the following, "The hand mill gives you feudal society, the steam mill industrial capitalism." - Karl Marx, The Poverty of Philosophy (1847), p. 100. When corrected by fellow socialist Pierre Joseph Proudhon that the particular institution needed for this new capitalist society - the new division of labor - already existed to create the tools/machines necessary for the capitalist system, Marx balked, with a non-reply reply (because there is no reply that can alter a self-evident fact): Machines are "a productive force," not a "social production relation," not an "economic category." -- Ibid, p. 115. Marx simply restates three of his axioms, neglecting to say which must come first. Obviously, the new capitalistic institution division of labor must come first to create the [materialist] tools/machines, not vice versa as Marx's materialist philosophy [mis]informs us.

    Marx's Foundational Tautology Marx writes (Chapter 24, first paragraph, Capital, 1867), "Hitherto we have investigated how surplus-value emanates from capital; we have now to see how capital arises from surplus-value." See the tautology? How did this tautology get past the initial reviews? How did this tautology survive the intervening 157 years without being discovered, except for this political scientist? This again illustrates the magnitude of the Marxist co-option of our institutions. Let's analyze the sentence's tautology... Surplus value is generated by capital, but capital is created by surplus value!

      That's literally a transitional phrase between explanations. Both arise cyclically, that's the entire point. Surplus value can only arise from the framework of the capitalist mode of production, and waged labour. Capital also arises from surplus value as those are then the profits which are recycled into the means the production (capitalism). Like how your body uses surplus energy from food to move your muscles for a few hours to go find more food to recycle the process and stay alive. A company does the same thing to stay alive, but with surplus value extraction to create capital, which can be recycled into the means of production to to create more surplus.

"It is, therefore, the task of history, once the other-world of truth has vanished, to establish the truth of this world." Now you know what Marxists are referring to when they utter the phrase, "The Struggle"... "The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion."

      @@brian78045 Jesus christ bro I wasn't saying capital was the same as money, just like in my last analogy I wasn't literally saying food was equal to capital, or chickens or eggs were equal to capital. Idk why you are accusing me of this on my 3rd analogy, but not the first 2 lol. This oddity leads me to be believe you are being intentionally dishonest instead of genuinely confused. Why didn't you accuse me of equating chickens to capital in the last response? Seems like you only became confused by analogies once your entire argument collapsed to just saying that capital and surplus value cannot create each other if we cannot determine which one came first. That's a ridiculous argument. But it seems you keep finding every opportunity to retreat back to your pre-rehreased satanist tautology rant. No one made a tautological error. You conveniently misunderstood the 3rd analogy, that's your error. I literally just explained to you that capitalism is a framework of recycling profits into the means of production, so I find it hard to believe you misunderstood me here. Wait, was is this seething over his anti-theism? You ran straight from pretending to misunderstand my analogy to ranting about how Marx didn't like religion? Obviously he doesn't, he's an adult lol. We can't all be as terrified of death as you. I don't even know how to respond to these quotes because I agree with them 100%, and have no idea how they relate to surplus value emanating from capital and vice versa...

    Former admirer of Austrian Economics. I can no longer deny the reality i see before me. Hyper-individualism, and competition, are inherently destructive.
