A lot of these criticisms are valid. They don't fully undermine the marxist project as much as they show the need for new approaches that build upon and expand marxist ideas (Deleuze did this pretty well imo).

One thing Id point out is the categorization of capitalists attempting to rob workers of the “actual value” of their labor to gain profit isn’t really technically true. In Capital and Critique of the Gotha Programme we see how Marx lays out that surplus is extracted via the fact that laborers can never own their own labor and are selling their ability to work which is being paid it’s “correct” (exchange) value for. specifically in Gotha Program Marx points out that “fair days work for a fair days wage” and similar slogans are not the point of the Communist movement instead of just the abolition of payment in general

I’ve been on a Baudrillard kick lately so I appreciate your work even more than usual. Have you looked at McKenzie Wark’s Capital is Dead (late 2019 I think)? She does a good bit of Baudrillard and Virilio in her work.

Hey man, great video. Thank you for making it.

Heh, super agree at the end there. While it's super easy now to pick apart Marx, we have to understand the ground he was trying to break to realize the strides he made.

Comment for the comment gods! I'm really excited to hear this one!

Very much appreciate your commitment to and obvious passion for philosophy- that sounds redundant... but I'm grateful for your work. This is what makes KZbin valuable (in my biased opinion).

Damn, uploaded just one day after I submitted my essay - where there's a section contrasting Baudrillard's ideas with Marxism.

[@GreekMishima]

In which text or book does Baudrillard explain these criticisms?

[@weatherlylinn-adams2353]

Great video, but I take issue with the idea that communism award workers with the "full value of their labor". I don't have specifics quotes off the top of my head to reference, but from my reading, Marx basically says that work as such is abolished. Instead of labor being

Nice ads bro hope they stay up.

Marx was writing about a different world, a 19th century Victorian milieu of what today would be called Third World poverty.

One advice from a fellow researcher Brother : you have the world's audience, and that is why you should pronounce a little more clearly and speak a little bit slowly. I found your that video on dialectics (Plato....Marx) very helpful and it was easier to understand for me than this one.
