I thought the background audio was terrible and too loud. But as I kept watching and I focused on the young gentledude's voice I began to calm down and focus on the spoken words. Huge flex when he was reading in German and switched back to English. Somehow the whole video worked out pretty well. Thanks for an awesome video gentledude.

These are very intuitive videos! Thanks a ton for taking the time to put them out

this is nice but pls filter abit more the background music, it sounds way too upfront and interrupting I feel

There's a point wich sounds quite strange to me. That some marxists reject Marx theory of value. Very unlikelly. This statement was linked in the video to the fact that things that dont have value, could have price. I dont see how the first statement connects to the other. Specially considering that the case for price-with-no-value issue is explicitly tackled by Marx in the last chapters of Das Kapital, book 3. He calls this an irrational value-form, and identifies that price in this case is determined not by socially necesary labor-time to produce it (afterall the thing in question is not product of labor) but by future gain (the obvious case is price of land, being determined by land revenue). Maybe youre presenting chapters before reading the hole book. I highly recommend reading it all first. I could give you guys some help if you like. Let me know. Great vídeo anyway. Thanks for the effort.

Wow, really precise! And well played jokes! I love the last second after the quotations :) Thanks for doing this and greetings from Graz!

Why this style of music in the background?

great video, background music is fine why the hate

which episode is the concept of socially necessary labor time?

Great stuff, but the background music's a little distracting.

I would argue the labour theory of value can explain why uncultivated land has value. That land of itself may have no value, but labour done elsewhere can imbue it with value. Imagine for a moment land surrounded by ocean with no fish, covered in useless rocks, too far away from any place to be easily reached and with many other hospitable islands coler to shore. This land would have no value or price and would not be bought or sold. However, imagine the land on the pacific coast before colonization by Europeans. At first it had no value, as the labour being done on it by Natives wasn't being used to produce commodities, but then, as the Europeans colonized the lands displacing or wiping out the native and so giving them access to it can building trails or rails near the land will give it value and building an timber mill elsewhere will make the trees more useful and therefore bring them value. This value was not inherent in the land or the trees on their own but in the potential to use labour upon them to create value. That potential in itself is created by labour done elsewhere and thus has value, and the price of that land is an estimation of its ability to facilitate future profits, that price is that value which will be re-payed by employing labour-power on that land in the future. And it must be re-payed by doing so, for if no labour is done on the land, for example because better land was found or it's resources lose their demand, it loses it's value, and ceases to be a commodity.

Judging by your accent in the German passage, you should have said "Dinge, de wos an und fia sich kaane Woan net sand..." (Servus von einem Wiener)

Thanks

Hey, great video. You mention that some later marxists reject the labour theory of value, do you know who the most prominent examples of this are?

Why the annoying background music?

That is a lot of gesticulation

Excellent content, however I can't concentrate because of the background music.

Why is the music so sad?

Conceding that the LTV is obviously wrong then saying "be nice to poor little Marxy, he doesn't know any better" is hillarious 😂

Read the Critique of the Gotha Program, which is quite an insight to his knowledge of what a Communist Society would look like, the end of it being very famous or infamous really, I think at the start of his Critique, the misconception that Marx thought Labor was the source of value isn't exactly true, Nature is as another source as Labor for Value for him and he used that knowledge to critique the program and Lassalle , it was true for many of the others before him though who believed in it

The background music is annoying.

I really appreciate this series, but I can't focus because the background music & the waving of hands is constantly distracting me 😂

Upvote/like this comment if you were expecting the red-haired woman from the first 2 videos to be narrating this one as well.

Please remove the background music!

Bring back the girl shes nice.

Ah yes, private power of private persons, Otherwise written in short as ‘pp of pps’

I love the vids but I like the girl more bc she's cute

Good video but the background music was godawful it was so hard to concentrate on what he was saying cuz I felt like sleeping to that slow soft classical music

The music on this video is so distracting 😢

Him: If you are here because of Marx’s revolutionary ideas and are getting frustrated with Math, bear with me. Me, a Capitalist, who’s here for the Philosophy and also to win debate against my Commie friend: Yesn’t

3:47 Completely uncalled for side note... Especially after you talked about labor theory of value with no problems on chapter 1 and 2. Of course economists disagree with the labor theory of value, they haven't worked a single day in their lives! Lmao

Dude! You gesticulate, like, A LOT. And I say that as an Italian. That's very distracting.
