2018-06-01 13:34:53 UTC  

Lol wut

2018-06-01 13:34:55 UTC  

Austrian school and their theory of marginal utility is shit

was agreed on by economcists of the time

like adam smith

so uhmmm 🤔

2018-06-01 13:35:15 UTC  

@Adoring Fan How is this relevant

2018-06-01 13:35:28 UTC  

We're talking about economics

i wonder what that says about marxist theory 🤔 if adam smith agreed with labour theory of value

2018-06-01 13:35:36 UTC  

it is relevant because your comment has as much bearing on the discussion as yours did

2018-06-01 13:35:45 UTC  

Adam Smith lived prior to Marx

2018-06-01 13:35:49 UTC  

also

2018-06-01 13:35:52 UTC  

not an argument

NoT An ArGuMeNT

2018-06-01 13:36:02 UTC  

>man agreed with it

2018-06-01 13:36:07 UTC  

>therefore it's correct

yes but why did adam smith agree with it?

because LTV makes economic sense

2018-06-01 13:36:20 UTC  

idc, i don't support adam smith's views

2018-06-01 13:36:30 UTC  

>man agrees with x
>why? because x is correct

2018-06-01 13:36:32 UTC  

not

2018-06-01 13:36:32 UTC  

an

2018-06-01 13:36:33 UTC  

argument

but you said there was no economic basis for marxism because marx wasn't an economicist or whatever but when economicist like adam smith agree with things like LTV it shows there is economic basis of marxism

2018-06-01 13:37:07 UTC  

Any economist would tell you his views originated from Smith's views

2018-06-01 13:37:17 UTC  

Smith is a founder of modern economics

Wait Adam Smith wasn’t even alive when Karl was around

2018-06-01 13:37:58 UTC  

He died in 1790

but his theories literally are based in LTV

2018-06-01 13:38:14 UTC  

But that’s different you said Smith agreed with him

2018-06-01 13:38:16 UTC  

But they both were supporting LTV

2018-06-01 13:38:22 UTC  

I can agree with a minimum wage. And say that we need the minimum wage to be $500/hour. Economists agree with the fact that there should be a minimum wage.

2018-06-01 13:38:34 UTC  

But that does not mean there is an economic basis to my beliefs

2018-06-01 13:38:36 UTC  

therefore

2018-06-01 13:38:36 UTC  

not

2018-06-01 13:38:37 UTC  

an

2018-06-01 13:38:38 UTC  

argument

2018-06-01 13:38:44 UTC  

and i'm off for now

2018-06-01 13:38:47 UTC  

Please just stop saying not an argument
