Marx's Foundational Tautology Marx writes (Chapter 24, first paragraph, Capital, 1867), "Hitherto we have investigated how surplus-value emanates from capital; we have now to see how capital arises from surplus-value." See the tautology? How did this tautology get past the initial reviews? How did this tautology survive the intervening 157 years without being discovered, except for this political scientist? This again illustrates the magnitude of the Marxist co-option of our institutions. Let's analyze the sentence's tautology... Surplus value is generated by capital, but capital is created by surplus value!

@@DissidentTheory says, "does the marxist co-option of our institutions explain your inability to have basic reading comprehension?" As is common with Marxists, they refuse to answer to the contradictions within Marx's systems, because there is no answer, Marx's materialist philosophy being a jerry-rigged fraud, created in order to implement Marx's 1843 directive for the "abolition of religion", and the destruction of those civilizations "whose spiritual aroma is religion"... Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, Karl Marx (1843) "The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion." ...and... "The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions." ...and... "It is, therefore, the task of history, once the other-world of truth has vanished, to establish the truth of this world." Now you know what Marxists are referring to when they utter the phrase, "The Struggle"... "The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion."

Hey man, awesome work. Been spending more than a month already trying to understand and derive even the smallest implications i can get from Chapter 1 (and still am missing a lot of it unfortunately, even with 3 companion books). Can you recommend a beginner-friendly, but in depth paper/essay/discussion/etc on section 4? I really want to nail it

Your videos are awesome, hope to see more. I'm actually watching this along with Capital and Harry Cleavers '33 Lessons On Capital: Reading Marx Politically'
@Michael-Z-3144 ай бұрын
Cleaver is a workerist who requires a misreading of Marx, specifically on the technical concept of productive labor, for his ideological commitments. You can discover this for yourself by reading his guide to accompany Volume 1 Chapter 24, wherein he includes finance administrators as productive workers. That is just one example of his revisionism. The guide is published on the internet for free at his university website. Cleaver is best avoided if one's aims are to understand Marxism as understood by Marx.

Lots of interesting things to take away from these sets of chapter sections. Understanding that European colonial powers only built infrastructure in colonies so long as it helped them export materials to their homeland more cheaply is important historical context. We can see then how absurd it is when reactionaries and liberals today compare this to China using its reserves to fund and provide material support in building infrastructure across Africa and Asia for industrializing, raising living standards across the world, and better diplomatic relations. When you actually read Capital you find that the critique that Marx is Euro-centric or doesn’t provide sufficient analysis for colonialism is absurd, a complete symptom of “haven’t-read-the-book”
