>things are priced differently because they have different costs of production
>their costs of production are a result of the rarity of inputs

no mention of degree of competition? commodity production is about going beyond rarity, revolutionizing the production process... the labor embodied in any category of commodity tends to decrease over time... that's the novel insight

>See that's the point. You think that something could bother me except the boredom of life that causes me pain. You think I care about my intellect. I don't care if I find life boring because I'm too stupid or too smart. Call me whatever you like, I just want to die faster.
You care enough to start a thread and post replies.

>While scientists were performing astounding feats of disciplined reason [during the Enlightenment], breaking down the barriers of the “unknowable” in every field of knowledge, charting the course of light rays in space or the course of blood in the capillaries of man’s body -- what philosophy was offering them, as interpretation of and guidance for their achievements was the plain Witchdoctory of Hegel, who proclaimed that matter does not exist at all, that everything is Idea (not somebody’s idea, just Idea), and that this Idea operates by the dialectical process of a new “super-logic” which proves that contradictions are the law of reality, that A is non-A, and that omniscience about the physical universe (including electricity, gravitation, the solar system, etc.) is to be derived, not from the observation of facts, but from the contemplation of that Idea’s triple somersaults inside his, Hegel’s, mind. This was offered as a philosophy of reason.

>...middle-class radicalism conceives of freedom as “trangression”, as the breaking of laws, the “refusal of all constraints”, as the Situationist International put it more than 30years ago, whereas the Marxian project of communism conceives of freedom, as the practical solution of a problematic which evolved theoretically from Spinoza and Leibniz to Kant, Hegel and Feuerbach as the transformation of laws, up to and including the physical laws of the universe, man’sunique “Promethean” capacity. More than 150 years ago, Marx, in his critique of the middle-class radicalism of the Young Hegelians, said that for Bauer, Hess, and Stirner, science, technology and the human history of practical activity in nature was only “mass, mere mass” (to use the jargon ofthe day) and one can truly say that for most of the Western left, far-left and ultra-left which emerged from the 1960′s, these phenomena are shown the door with the updated (and essentially Weberian) Frankfurt School mantra “domination, mere domination”. For the middle-class radical,”negation of the negation” view, the problems are “hierarchy”, “authority”, “domination” and “power”; for the Marxian communist view, the problems are the project of the abolition of value, commodity production, wage labor and the proletariat (the latter being the commodity form of labor power within capitalism). From these latter the “negation of the negation” problematic is entirely recast, reformed and superceded, and itsheavy overlay of bourgeois ideology–freedom conceived without the transformation of necessity– discarded.

>But this is something rather different than a certain “mood” of the past 35 years, a mood whose culmination to date is the “post-modern”, “cultural studies” scene that has filled up bookstores with its nihilist punning , its “white males never did anything but rape, pillage and loot” theory of history, and its ignorant, revealing “everything and everyone is tainted” projections onto everything and everyone in some potted notion of the Western “tradition”. This is the world view of demoralized upper middle-class people ensconced in fashionable universities, largely ignorant of thereal history of the failure (to date) of the communist project for a higher organization of society, assuming that the historical and intellectual backwater engulfing them is the final product of human history.

I find the notion pretty problematic
