The problem is that if everything is traded for the cost that it takes to produce it, then where would we ever get a profit? The answer, Marx gives, is that that there is one difference between HUMAN labour power as a commodity, and that of every other non-human commodities. The cost of producing a human being (i.e. it's sustenance" might not necessarily be equal to the amount of value that a worker can PRODUCE in a given day. Thus, if it takes 6 hours of labor time to provide for sustenance, then the remaining hours of work time (6 or so in Marx's day) are SURPLUS -- they are the value over-and-above costs that the worker produces.
Read the communist manifesto, read :leslie-feinberg: and Juila Serano recently. Picked up other ones that I haven't finished, on state and revolution like the read like 20 or so pages. Also I got the anarchist cookbook so that looks like fun.
Edit I remembered more. I finished Settlers a while back, been reading :parenti: assassination of Julius ceaser, read bullshit jobs and free lunch a while back.
Me and @Wmill are seeking a dom to teach us theory

I fail to see what is "horny" about learning theory at all, sir.
You said you need a dom
yeah, to explain stuff, not for sex.
Doesn't matter. volcel police!

No. You've been bad and you must be punished

no read, only explain
Ironic - the explanations will be written and thus must be read
