What would be the criticisms of the criticisms of the labor theory of value? - Hexbear

There is a Wikipedia page for the Labor Theory of Value [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_theory_of_value]. There is a Wikipedia page for the Criticisms of the Labor Theory of Value [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticisms_of_the_labour_theory_of_value]. But there is no Wikipedia page for "Criticisms of the Criticisms of the Labor Theory of Value". Even Google [https://www.google.com/search?&q=%22Criticisms+of+the+Criticisms+of+the+Labor+Theory+of+Value%E2%80%9D] doesn't turn anything up. I have not read enough theory to even fully understand LTV, let alone understand its criticisms. But I'm assuming there are some Marxists who have written the "Criticisms of the Criticisms of the Labor Theory of Value". What would these be? Right now you get the impression that the "Criticisms of the Labor Theory of Value" are going unchallenged.

Doesn’t this just quickly become a question of ethics like everything else involving an aggregation of individual actions?

    Do you have any specific critiques in mind? I'm not sure if there's many avenues to critique the Marxist LTV that don't boil down to deliberate misunderstandings a la the mudpie argument.

      I really need to work on being more succinct
