But corn isn't MOP. <:HyperLmao:459545665517780993>
For a farmer it is
The farm that makes the corn is the MOP. If you buy a farm you become a capitalist.
No, it isn't.
Corn isn't MOP for a farmer, the farm is the MOP for the farmer.
The farm and the corn
No, just the farm. Only the farm is the MOP.
Means. Of. Production. What is involved in production.
That could be a factory or a farm.
Whomever controls the farm of the factory as an individual is, according to socialist theory, a capitalist.
If the farm is collectively owned, then it is socially owned, it is socialist.
That was the philosophical foundation for collective farms in the USSR.
They were doled out by the state which was nominally a dictatorship of the proletariat.
Anon you know it's unbecoming to passive-aggressively give me the libtard tag because I know more about something than you do.
I mean, I think I've been pretty clear I'm third position.
And clear in my distaste of liberals.
there should be a different tag for that
A farmer without seed cannot produce. The actor and the acted upon are interchangeable, logically speaking.
But they aren't interchangeable. You're being reductionist.
Uhhhh. Sure. But then the individual owns the farm, and the individual is a capitalist.
It's not a socialist farm.
Presumably the farmer employs people.
If that farm was socially owned by everybody working there it would be socialist.
Same thing for a factory.
Maybe we should stick to a factory as an example so you can avoid sophistry.
the whole workers are entitled to their labor is such a dumb concept as you can trace it all the way back to the person who harvested the resources for the manufacturing
Because of fucking course the lumberjack is entitled to woodworking plant because he cut down the trees for them to use
Self-employed people already own their MOP. Why would a lumberjack own a factory? The people in the factory own the factory collectively.
Capitalism and socialism are byproducts of industrialization.
im talking about marxist ideology's idea of workers being entitled to their labor
Yeah, a lumberjack owns their labor. They cut down a tree and self it for themselves.
They aren't entitled to a factory's labor. The factoryworker in the factory is entitled to that labor.
No he owns the woodworking plant too as created the resources for them to use
It's his labor first and foremost
No, when he sells it to the factory for refinement as a raw resource it's no longer his.
There was an exchange where he gave up the entirety of his labor without a capitalist as a medium.
Although Bordiga will tell you that's not real socialism because there's capital involved.
Marxism breaks down as even remotely logical past the state socialism stage.
