Subjective and objective

2021-01-16 20:42:10 UTC  

Neither really change prices nor set prices in the 1st place

2021-01-16 20:45:15 UTC  

So I can't pretend to know exactly what modern Marxist argue for like maybe certain of his theories were vindicated by neoclassical economics or something but when I generally conceptualize the labor theory of it seems that marx was developing a system of economic prediction based off of these other thinkers of his time and they held the opinion the price of a commodity is the same as the labor that is expended to create it and that's how we came up with this theory of exploitation now if you're arguing for something different I don't totally know because Im basically rejecting his theory of exploitation because he's starting from false premises

2021-01-16 20:45:44 UTC  

Yeah, they can be exploited but they aren't exploited in the way Marx says they are

2021-01-16 20:46:13 UTC  

Marx's Theory of Alienation was right on

2021-01-16 20:46:51 UTC  

I could see that being true

2021-01-16 20:47:02 UTC  

@slavecaste prices remained rigid in the face of a huge collapse in aggregate demand due to government intervention lol

2021-01-16 20:47:20 UTC  

There was barley any government intervention in COVID

2021-01-16 20:47:23 UTC  

(((Keynes)))

2021-01-16 20:47:26 UTC  

It was private central banker intervention and massive austerity

2021-01-16 20:47:28 UTC  

Keynes was based

2021-01-16 20:47:33 UTC  

Friedman wasn't

2021-01-16 20:47:55 UTC  

most recessions prior to 1945 saw deflation in CPI

2021-01-16 20:48:07 UTC  

Yeah, S&D was very flexible back then

2021-01-16 20:48:11 UTC  

Marginalism was right at one point

2021-01-16 20:48:22 UTC  

open market operations are a form of gov intervention

2021-01-16 20:48:29 UTC  

No they aren't

2021-01-16 20:48:35 UTC  

and are supported by virtually all keynesians

2021-01-16 20:48:36 UTC  

OMO's are just private central bank intervention

2021-01-16 20:48:40 UTC  

Yeah, those are monetarists not Keynesians

2021-01-16 20:48:55 UTC  

they just say they aren't enough

2021-01-16 20:49:02 UTC  

I mean literally that's true though

2021-01-16 20:49:09 UTC  

because Keynes hated central bank action for recessions

2021-01-16 20:49:11 UTC  

Friedman loved it

2021-01-16 20:49:21 UTC  

I still laugh at lolberts who blame Keynes for the mess we have now

2021-01-16 20:50:02 UTC  

not really friedmanites believe in inflation targeting, not countercyclical monetary policy

2021-01-16 20:50:10 UTC  

Friedman was a retard for rejecting ABCT

2021-01-16 20:50:10 UTC  

Yes they do

2021-01-16 20:50:10 UTC  

LOL

2021-01-16 20:50:17 UTC  

ABCT is false now

2021-01-16 20:50:21 UTC  

It's a defense for usury

2021-01-16 20:50:32 UTC  

I'm usurypilled

2021-01-16 20:50:37 UTC  

he did, where?

2021-01-16 20:50:44 UTC  

Feder's Theory of Interest <:chad:793675087064465449>

2021-01-16 20:50:55 UTC  

In his general theory and every other literature he had

2021-01-16 20:51:06 UTC  

He saw central bank action as barley demand responding for recessions

2021-01-16 20:51:40 UTC  

Keynes believed in spurring investment which open market operations precisely do

2021-01-16 20:51:41 UTC  

no you aren't

2021-01-16 20:51:45 UTC  

are you ?

2021-01-16 20:52:05 UTC  

No, he believed in socializing investment which is basically debt-free money to the government.

2021-01-16 20:52:09 UTC  

well I obviously dont think all interest is usury or whatever
