The idea of a school #teacher is, to turn a wild child into emotionless #reason. Deprived from our emotions, we execute like robots democratic procedures and compensate the missing thing in us with consume, consume, consume and some esoterics.

There helps no #CriticalPedagogics, no niceness, no good intention. A child is neither naturally violent, nor is a teenager naturally rebellious. A child task is to learn not just about possession or property but exclusive private property. A teenagers task is to cope with competition.

That makes it impossible for teachers to keep #LGBTQ kids save, because the readily emptied skull of pure reason is ready to exercise #democracy or even become an activist, while without the necessary survival funding can easily turn racist, antisemitic, sexist and/or homophobe.

And there are even songs about it, #Madsen

"The #state has no medium of intervention and design of its own; it can only act and maintain itself by using #money and #monetary relations. Dependent on constant blood transfusions, it leads a second-hand life. It cannot continue to exist if the sources of abstract social wealth dry up and taxes and borrowing no longer provide it with its lifeblood in sufficient measure." - #ErnstLohoff, Der dritte Web, #Wertkritik, #ValueCritique

#Review to #KoheiSaito 'Natur gegen Kapital', 'Nature against #Capital':

I took the moment to read the book fast without remarks and underlining. So the first nice thing, that is absolutely possible. Most evaluations are practical, like historical explanations about the development of modern #agriculture in relation to Marx personal development and the difference between the first #Kapital editions.

Saito starts with #Marx, Engels and #Feuerbach. This part can be understood even though you know few about how crucial Feuerbach was to Marx and what exactly this new german ideology is. Why Feuerbach was crucial, and why Marx finally rejected Feuerbach will be explained to you.

In the following part Saito talks about Entfremdung (alianation) introduces this term in meaning represented by 'Das Kapital', but also Feuerbach and Hegel, and goes ahead with the Japanese school of thought and their particular different interpretation of abstract work, that is according them found in reality and has existed before the start of capitalism. This brings you some headakes to keep on understanding some few following chapters, but all in all conclusive.

Even though this interpretation is diametrically to those of #RobertKurz and #MichaelHeinrichs, it come to plenty of similar conclusions and claims to follow the same idea of Heinrichs science of value.

The most interesting part of Saito starts, when he starts following Marx observation towards, at that time contemporary research, of agriculture and how this changed Marx entire cause from an optimist person thinking in linear progress, to someone pessimistic, and later on into an pessimistic optimism, when Marx finally learned about the impact of human made climate change.

And yes, you heard right. A botanic called #Fraas wrote about how Forrest disappearance finally leads to the disappearance of Farming, although trees were remove to make space for farming. His argument was, that the impacting climate in this regions lead to desertification. We talk about mid 19th century science, that caught Marx attention.

Saito is able to increase the wow effect, so you keep on reading. In total a good book, nice to read and some incredible messages inside to a generation, that for some not obvious reasons wants to survive #ClimateChange.

I might later post some of these messages, but would suggest you reading the book instead.

#Wertkritik #ValueCritique #ScienceOfValue

To #KoheiSaito.s book: Nature against Capital.

What #KoheiSaito does not grasp in his short critique of the collapse theory of #ValueCritique, #Wertkritik (#RobertKurz), however, is that the "doggedness of capital" and its dynamics ("elastic potencies") for the reproduction of itself, is not denied, but, according to the value critique, they are the cause of exponentially increasing costs within the scientific capitalist enterprise (development, research), which can only be covered by a total social debt (e.g. public debt), but hardly by an entrepreneurial accumulation. Thus, precisely because of the facts cited by Saito for the refutation of the value critique, capital is already long time processing outside of its actual operational range and must collapse accordingly due to a not realizable recreation of value, according to the value critique. This can be continued (simulated) only as long as the socialization of debts can be maintained with the simultaneous privatization of profits.***

Although Saito admits that he has not even considered the doctrine of value necessary for this statement, he already indicates with the unquestioned adoption of Burkett's quote that his understanding of value comes precisely from #MichaelHeinrichs and is thus diametrically opposed to Kurz's interpretation. Meanwhile, he does little to shake the value critique itself.

Still, the book is well worth reading, and I haven't quite finished it yet either. So maybe he'll still get his act together 😉.

*** For example, Germany's debt today will last until almost 2075, so we have to work for another 52 years to recoup the money we've already spent. In 2030, for example, it could already take until 2150 and in 2050 until the year 2200 or even 2300. It is obvious that this cannot be maintained endlessly. Countries like Haiti for instance can not rely on such a process of eternally raising debts, to maintain production of goods within social (worldwide) average costs, so that they necissarily loose an economic basis and collapse.

Zu #KoheiSaito.s Buch: Natur gegen Kapital

Was #KoheiSaito an seiner kurzen Kritik der Zusammenbruchstheorie der #Wertkritik (#RobertKurz) allerdings nicht erfasst, ist das die "Verbissenheit des Kapitals" und seine Dynamik ("elastische Potenzen") zur Reproduktion seiner selbst, nicht etwa geleugnet wird, sondern nach der Wertkritik eben Verursacher für exponentiell steigende Kosten innerhalb des wissenschaftlichen kapitalistischen Betriebes (Entwicklung, Forschung) darstellen, die nur noch durch eine soziale Gesamtverschuldung (zum Beispiel Staatsschulden) kaum aber noch durch eine unternehmerische Akkumulation gedeckt werden können. Somit prozessiert das Kapital eben genau wegen des von Saito zur Widerlegung der Wertkritik angeführten Sachverhalts schon lange außerhalb seines eigentlichen Arbeitsbereich und muss entsprechend an einer nicht mehr realisierbaren Verwertung des Werts kollabieren, so die Wertkritik. Dies kann nur solange fortgeführt (simuliert) werden, solange die Sozialisierung von Schulden bei gleichzeitiger Privatisierung von Profiten aufrecht gehalten werden kann.***

Obwohl Saito zugibt, die zu dieser Feststellung notwendige Lehre des Werts noch gar nicht betrachtet zu haben, deutet er mit der unhinterfragten Übernahme des Zitats von Burkett schon an, dass sein Verständnis des Werts eben von #MichaelHeinrichs stammt und somit der kurz'schen Interpretation diametral entgegensteht. An der Wertkritig selbst rüttelt er derweil wenig.

Das Buch ist aber trotzdem sehr lesenswert und ich bin auch noch nicht ganz fertig. Also vielleicht kriegt er ja noch die Kurve. 😉

*** zum Beispiel Reicht die Verschuldung Deutschlands heute bis nahezu 2075, wir müssen also noch 52 Jahre arbeiten um das jetzt schon ausgegebene Geld wieder reinzuholen. 2030 könnte es zum Beispiel schon bis 2150 dauern und 2050 bis ins Jahr 2200 oder gar 2300. Es ist offensichtlich, dass das nicht endlos aufrecht erhalten werden kann.

@Loukas 100 % agree that capitalism is not the creation of one certain class and that its abolition cannot be thought as the triumph of the proletariat over the bourgeoisie.

The more probable worst-case scenario:

"Even if the economic terror system can no longer be stopped in its process of destruction and self-destruction, the motto of Critical Theory still applies: don't let yourself be made stupid by your own powerlessness. Under the given circumstances, this can only mean to refuse any co-responsibility for "market economy and democracy", to do only "work-by-rule" and to sabotage the capitalist enterprise wherever possible." --- Schwarzbuch Kapitalismus, Robert Kurtz

"I am an avid reader of #operaismo and of pre-Empire Negri, and also at the opposite end, the #Wertkritik school, in my view the best heirs to #Critical #Theory (Hans-Georg Backhaus, Helmut Reichelt, Michael Heinrich, but also the unruly genius, #Robert #Kurz, and the “cult” periodicals of this tendency, Krisis, Streifzüge, Exit!) /…/
The greatest impact came, however, from #Moishe #Postone’s magnum opus."

@Odradek weiß nicht, weiß nicht. Das sagen ja die #Wertkritik er*innen auch irgendwie. Aber kann man den Begriff nicht ohne die Emphase, die er im Arbeiterbewegungsmarxismus hatte, also als Beschreibung einer mittlerweile völlig verallgemeinerten Lebensweise, nutzen? Nicht mit dem Ziel, die Arbeit zu befreien, sondern mit dem, die Gesellschaft (und natürlich auch die Arbeiter*innen) von der Arbeit zu befreien?

@atompunkray @politicalscience #Marx #Marxism #WorkingClass issues according #ValueCriticism #Wertkritik 🤔 don't find it under this hashtag??? Weired.

On #ValueCriticism #Wertkritik.

Reading #KoheiSaito now. So exciting!

Ihr könnt ja gern #Superhelden Quatsch gucken. Jeder weis wie sie enden. Aber das hier ist wenigstens spannend. 😂😇🥰

You can watch superhero stories, everyone knows how they gonna end up. At least this book is an adventure. 😇🥰

Kein Querverweis zu D. Harvey oder M. Heinrich aber zu Robert Kurz 😜

No reference to David Havey, but to Robert Kurz 🤪 #DavidHarvey #RobertKurz #Wertkritik verbreitet sich wie ein Virus 🤭 #ValueCriticism spreads like a virus.

2nd best #Marx interpretation. #MoishePostone #Postone #DasKapital #Wertkritik

A better world is impossible!

Everyone directs his thoughts towards extinct someone else who is responsible for this shithole planet.

You are not a real #Anticapitalist, if you only blame the rich and don't see your own footprint.

It was the working class that prevented the final collapse of state-CAPITALISM in Soviet Union and China.

It is all about the invisible value behind the processing of capital as #Marx stated. Once violent pseudo-revuluzzers identified this value with the Jews.

We all know how it ended. Did #capitalism collapse? No. Why would it if we would kill all #Billionaires? It wouldn't!

Capitalism can exist without Billionaires, but not without working class.

A propos de la "Théorie de la valeur" de Christiaan Cornelissen

#cornelissen #marx #valeur #wertkritik #capitalism #anarchisme #économie

Time for my #introduction!

Among many other things, I am a #historian (PhD) & #economichistorian (#Stockholm university), mostly 20th & 21th century. Right now finishing a book on the history of price statistics (quality adjustments in the consumer price index). Previous books on Spotify and the political economy of music. Anyway, I did not really come here to be one of the #Histodons on #AcademicMastodon.
I also write non-academic stuff.

Sometimes I play music on #woodwind instruments; member of #MedievalMusic group Vox Vulgaris.

Appreciator of underground dance music, and of adventurous sounds in general.

Once I was involved in The Bureau for #Piracy (the group that started The Pirate Bay) and ever since I have been writing on internet politics, whatever that means today. Appreciator of Soulseek and Aaaaarg; curious about the #fediverse; contemptful of "web3".

Probably not a "Marxist" but, yeah, I am indeed deep into #Marx, #CriticalTheory, #ValueFormTheory and #Wertkritik.
Probably not an "activist" either. I just want to somehow abolish the capitalist mode of production, and some other shit. Right now involved in a network for solidarity with #Ukraine.

Tooting in Swedish + English, reading German, struggling to learn Russian.
