>Everyone should be paid the same amount no matter what work they do
yeah that meme argument is dumb as fuck
Then the classic 'personal property includes my shoes and underwear and iphone and video games and hat and couch and car'.
Also, mentioning that there's going to be a period of time where "Communism" (or as most Marxists call it now, Socialism) adopts elements from Capitalism
Yeah, I forget if he talks about personal and private property in Gotha

hello
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.
