If nobody wants the shirt the value of the shirt is=labor*0
Logan Ross
So if there is no demand for a shirt I can instantly produce infinite shirts out of thin air?
Jeremiah Richardson
But demand doesn't factor into your example at all. Also how does the need for labour to turn linen into a shirt mean that 'labour*2 = shirt'. You seem to have a very poor comprehension of marx since you've given an internally inconsistent example that is also irrelevant to what you're complaining about.
Thomas Fisher
I'm saying its a poor way of gauging value. There many shirts in the market and they're all made out of linen but they have different values depending on the demand for said shirts.
Blake King
But your example doesn't demonstrate that, you claimed that Marx didn't account for demand and thought that as long as you put labour into something it has value, this is something Marx never claimed, when this was pointed out you gave an example which didn't mention value or demand at all and also had some inexplicable assertions. Its pretty clear you don't actually know what the labour theory of value states. I recommend briefly reading up on it.

Price is not value.
Matthew Sanchez
Prices oscillate around values according to supply and demand, you mongoloid.
Also, Marx was examining the production of socially necessary commodities inside a market, and how the economic laws and social relations implicit in that arrangement operate. Neoclassical economics damages your brain apparently, since you can only imagine these stupid scenarios of an individual person making individual things. What Marx is interested in are TENDENCIES. He isn't describing the political economy of making a sandwich inside your house to eat. There are some contemporary works on domestic production however.
Dylan Torres
Marxism is bullshit, he thinks that the only struggle in this world is the class. He thinks that we humans are intelligent machines that deserved not to be bamboozled by Capitalists. Well, that's not the case in reality. We humans are so intelligent and we are not just "workers", every individual has its own ideals and wisdom. In Marxism, you are just a producing human. Marx was right about the class struggle, but he thinks that the workers should get special treatment. For me, class should exist but Capitalism should be changed.
John Jones
Communism is basically all about managing the productive side of human life in the best way, so we have more free time for self-actualization. It's precisely a movement that wants to limit the impact exploitation holds over interpersonal relations.
It's been changing constantly, generally for the worse unless directly threatened by communist revolutions and union uprisings.
