it doesn't help that Marx himself delineated several types of value and then explicitly just said "uh this gets weird let's just treat all of these as the same for the next few tomes"
I like to explain what a social construct is by saying that law and money are social constructs. They may not be things that naturally exist and are purely artificial, but they both have very real impact on everyone's lives.

I prefer to use the phrase "X is socially constructed" over "X is a social construct" because it implies human action is responsible and is ongoing
