There’s this new video by a good YouTuber - Value by Unlearning Economics. There was also an article by Ben Burgis for the Jacobin which argued the same.
Is it possible, as both these people argue, to separate Marx’s critique of capitalism from his theory of value? To keep the former and discard the latter?
Edit - I’m not siding with the video or with Burgis, btw. I think Marx’s value theory is correct. I’m just looking for people who can shine some light on this new(?) phenomena of leftists speaking out against LTV while trying “save” Marx’s critique of capital. To me, that just seems like a pointless and hopeless endeavour.
The video guy had an AMA where he said that he landed on a more centrist political perspective after his university days. He’s also made videos responding to breadtubers about privatization which was basically like “yes the trains were better, newer, cheaper to operate and perhaps as safe as their privatized versions but who is to say which is better?”
