Capitalists innovate for profit, not usefulness. The system rewards what sells, not what actually improves lives.
The so called freedom in capitalism just means you’re free to work for someone else’s profit. True autonomy is limited by the economic system itself.

Thats very reductive. Exploiting labor doesn't work by definition in a free market society, being that its a mutual agreement and can be refused under exploitative conditions, of which bears a cost on the productivity of the firm. What you see happening in the free market is firms competing for workers, hence contributing to an increase in wages.

Labor would exist with class and with the absence of it. It’s something we have come to do to maintain the world we live in. “Slave labor” and “wage slavery” are not removed by communism, they are made worse as there is no reward for innovating or developing a unique skillset.
Capitalists innovate for profit, not usefulness. The system rewards what sells, not what actually improves lives.
Yes, through innovating for profit, it benefits society simultaneously (i.e it produces jobs). What sells is what is useful. Thats what demand entails
The so called freedom in capitalism just means you’re free to work for someone else’s profit. True autonomy is limited by the economic system itself.
Their profit derives from capital usually the company they created, own or run. Your wage derives from labor. Whether you dislike this system or not, you would be bound by this exact same concept through communism. You are not arguing for communism here. All economic systems require labor, with the difference between capitalism and communism being that the former allows individuals to chose whereas the latter doesnt.
Best system we’ve tried? That ignores how wealth and resources are distributed the system produces extreme inequality while basic needs go unmet for billions.
Does a free market produce wealth and income disparities

Yes

Does that derive from a difference in productivity

Yes

Could the government justify policies such as through education and hospitals

Yes

But in communism, the differences of productivity and meaningless. Its unsustainable

read Marx's Capital. you dont even need to be an econ student to see how retarded it is. his labour theory of value isnt about usefulness either, he just claims that all value/usefulness comes from labour and refuses to ellaborate. that is what his entire economic theory is based off, an assumption from an outdated 19th century author

You’re critiquing a caricature of Marx, not what he actually wrote.

He never said usefulness comes from labor. He explicitly separates use-value (utility) from exchange-value (what commodities trade for). Labour Theory of Value is about how exchange values tend to organize around socially necessary labour time under capitalism not about subjective usefulness.

So saying “he just assumes labour creates value and refuses to elaborate” is just wrong most of Capital is him elaborating that exact mechanism (commodity production, surplus value, exploitation via wage relations, etc.).

If you want to critique Marx seriously you’d have to engage marginal utility theory vs LTV, or argue price formation is better explained by supply/demand and subjective valuation. But dismissing it as an unelaborated assumption from the 1800s isn’t really an argument.

You can disagree with Marx plenty of economists do but at least engage what he actually said.

Marx was a moron who created a political theory in direct opposition to his own historical analysis.

Then for that past 100 years we've had to deal with 100iq cum guzzlers unable to properly analysis any of it while repeating the same bullish.

My bad I worded it really poorly.

Marx creates his economic theory off Ricardo's Labour Theory, which states that "The value of a commodity ... depends on the relative quantity of labour which is necessary for its production".

He supports this by "leav[ing] out of consideration consideration" commodities are used for, and focusing instead on a "common property" they apprently all share, "that of being the products of labour".

"Socially necessary" labour time means the average time it takes to make something under normal conditions, using typical methods and effort. This average is imposed through market competition, “like an overriding law”. So, in a given society, a good’s exchange value depends on the average labour time needed to produce it.

No modern economist takes the LTV seriously, for example uncultivated land has high value, yet it does not require any labour time whatsoever to produce. Similarly, art can take hardly any labour time, yet it can be sold for millions. There much more logical/empirical flaws to this methodology.

In hindsight, Ricardo and Marx lived in the 19th century. Early industrialisation and the "political economy" was still rudimentary.

Anyway under these assumption he claims that the rate of profit will fall over time (which it did not obv). Marx says that money spent on machinery and materials does not change in value during production, so he calls it "constant capital" because it does not add new value. By contrast, money spent on labour power is "variable capital" because labour can produce "an excess, a surplus value", and he measures exploitation as surplus value divided by variable capital, written as "s/v", which he says shows the "exact ... degree of exploitation".

In economics we measure aggregate demand, utility, prices, because it reflects many market mechanisms Marx ignores. For example, scarcity, individual consumer choices etc.

Ultimately, if you agree with his philosophical/social ideas like "alienation" or human nature, that's fine and its subjective. I cant tell you otherwise, and i'm not a philosophy/humanities major. But as an economics student his economics is both retarded and objectively empirically wrong.

I think we’re talking past each other a bit.

I’m not trying to defend Marx’s 19th century price theory or say LTV should replace marginal utility in modern economics. You’re right that mainstream econ doesn’t operate on labour time value and that supply/demand + subjective valuation explain price formation much better.

My point is more about the structural/philosophical analysis of capitalism, not the mechanics of commodity pricing.

Even if you throw out LTV entirely, the broader observations still hold:

• Society is segregated along ownership vs labour lines.
• People who own productive assets extract income from people who don’t.
• Workers have less bargaining power because they need wages to survive.
• Profit maximization structurally incentivizes cost cutting on labour.

You don’t need labour time value theory for any of that to be true you can observe it empirically in wage stagnation vs productivity, wealth concentration, etc.

So when I reference Marx, I’m not appealing to him as a modern economist but as a political economist / social theorist analyzing power relations under capitalism/imperialism.

You can reject his value theory and still engage with concepts like alienation, class power, or ideological normalization (“bread and circuses”) because those operate at a sociological level, not a price-theory level.

Critique his economics if you want, that’s fair. I just think dismissing the entire framework because 19th century value theory is outdated misses the parts that are still analytically useful.

No don't get me wrong I'm not dismissing his entire framework and to be honest I'm not that educated on philosophy/social theories in general to even properly critique it.

I'm just saying his economic theory/methodology especially in Capital is questionable at best. It leads him to the conclusion of the law of the "tendency of the rate of profit to fall", which evidently did not happen. Similarly, absolute "immeseration", the fall in standards of living or income also did not happen like he predicted.

However, if human nature or "species-being" is to be social producers, and alienation in bourgeois civil society creates individuals who cannot become a "true man" because it is egoistic and selfish, then yea his philosophical ideas still hold despite any economic critiques.

If you think about it from a perspective of class power, he is making a humanistic claim about social relations and what it means to be a human being. I can't debate that. Rising living standards, income, productivity etc. as macroeconomic indicators means nothing if the "bourgeoise" are still gaining power and "extracting" from workers who are being alienated from their "species-life".

My point is about his economics specifically, Capital is based off very outdated assumptions and Marx uses very unreliable economic methodologies to support his claims. Consequently, he makes enitrely wrong empirical predictions. Marx is a bad economist, I don't know if he is a bad philosopher.
