Ok I'm still reading Critique of the Gotha Program (I've also been reading a lot of definitions for terms on marxists.org and doing other stuff). I know I will probably sound like an idiot when talking about this stuff but can someone help me out here.
I'm pretty sure something about this text I've typed out is wrong (probably capitalists making commodities rare through control of the means of production, maybe I'm even confusing 'value' for 'use-value') but I don't know *why* I'm wrong. I feel really stupid because I haven't studied economics in depth since school so forgive me if this sounds really dumb.
>The use-value of an item generally doesn't increase.
>Capital is money that is used to buy a commodity and resell it at a higher value.
>Normally value only increases when items are rare.
>However through capitalists owning the means of production for the commodity they can artificially make this item rare and increase it's value.
I feel like a baby taking my first steps into the world lol
holy shit you think gotha is baby steps
yeah lol
I get a lot of it
But I think maybe I'm trying to go too fast.
most people dont read past manifesto
Really what I typed out didn't even come up from Gotha. It came from me reading stuff on marxists.org.
yeah
I can't even imagine being a borderline illiterate peasant 100 years ago and trying to understand this stuff lol
although the commodity isnt always resold at a higher value
