so like what happens when the labor theory of value gets "debunked", does everything else we believe in fall apart like dominoes or does it like not actually matter if Marx was wrong about one obscure random thing no one ever talks about?
I imagine if the LTV got debunked we'd all have a good time never needing to work, since valuable goods apparently just appear out of nowhere.
Yeah well what if you made something and no one wanted to buy it? Checkmate, tankie.
Labour is what gives something value, but not all labour is of value (see: Keir Starmer)
Keir Starmer couldn't even make a proper mud-pie if he was living in a bog
That's essentially what liberals say
This is literally a foundational theory of mainstream liberal economic models, down in the bedrock where even econ grad students don't get taught about it lmao.
It’s odd that Marx was inspired by liberal economists, yet the ones we see today are the caricatures of capitalists we see in old timey propaganda
