/MK/ - MARXISM KLIMANISM

These are two separate things: a rapturous Event (revolution), and the forcing of its consequences onto our world.

Without the LTV marxism wouldn't be scientific it would be mere utopianism.

This is just dishonest disregard for his work and you know it.

Right that seems to be his stance. But I don't think that's true and I hope it's not because I don't believe in the LTV.

How do you interpret capitalist economy without the LTV? You can't have a theory of exploitation or a theory of crisis without it.

Care to explain the LTV in a few words and tell us why you don't believe in it?

Prices of production are an abstract concept that is not supposed to describe actual market prices at any moment, it's a concept supposed to describe what prices would be like with equalized profit rates (profit rates would be equalized if capitalists who seek to maximize profit could instantly move in and out of the different sectors of the economy). If you have a model where physically speaking, the quantities produced stay the same, but the money representation in terms of prices and profits is changing, don't call that prices of production.

What did Scarrufi do to him at the review farm?

It's not something I've totally come to turns with, but you can certainly have a theory of exploitation that doesn't rely on the LTV. Joan Robinson understood exploitation as "workers don't get the net product, some of it is appropriated by capitalists" without resorting to accounting things in labor time worked or surplus value extracted or whatever.

Not really no.
