  2. L’Utopie est une promesse qui mérite qu’on se batte pour elle
    les-crises.fr/l-utopie-est-une
    Karl Marx se moquait des utopistes qui rédigeaient des recettes pour les cuisines du futur. Mais dans le meilleur des cas, ces utopistes soulignent l’espoir malgré l’absence de garanties — une approche qui trace une voie médiane entre l’optimisme aveugle et l’inertie résignée du « réalisme ».

    Und wie willst Du verhindern, daß imperialistische Mächte andere Länder angreifen? Sich einfach unterdrücken und foltern lassen? Hauptsache kein #Krieg, sondern nur eine #Spezialoperation?

    Sorry, aber mir ist der Markt - Staat - Dualismus von alten Männern des 18. & 19. Jahrhunderts einfach viel zu unterkomplex.

    Sie erwähnten die Kirchen, aber auch z.B. Familien, Vereine und demokratische Parteien bilden private Zusammenschlüsse, die weder Smith noch Marx voll erfassen konnten.

    In Diskussionen mit "Marxisten" frage ich oft einfach, ob sich diese mal ernsthaft mit den ökonomischen Erkenntnissen der ersten Frau befasst haben, die einen sog. Wirtschaftsnobelpreis erhielt: Elinor Ostrom (1933 - 2012).

    Wenn nicht, dann ist leider klar, in welche Sackgassen das führt...

    Karl Marx on Labor, Wealth and Power
    Karl Marx died in 1883.

    These 9 quotes about labor, machinery, wealth and power still sound remarkably contemporary.

    Visuals inspired by Honoré Daumier.

  9. “Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.”*…

    Today is, of course, Labor Day, a recognition of the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements in the U. S. that dates from the latter 19th century. Livia Gershon reminds us that, earlier that century, labor had an important champion…

    Today, the idea that the value of all commodities comes from the labor power used to produce them is closely associated with Karl Marx. But Marx was far from the only thinker in the mid-nineteenth century to believe this. Literature scholar Owen Cantrell looks at another: Abraham Lincoln [and here].

    In 1847, Lincoln wrote that goods rightfully “belong to those whose labour has produced them,” and any good government should ensure that workers receive the entire product of their labor “or as nearly as possible.”

    However, unlike Marx, Lincoln saw no problem with the private ownership of property, or even of some people becoming rich. Cantrell argues that his view was the product of his own background in rural middle America. As a young man, Lincoln’s father had worked odd jobs in Kentucky, sometimes alongside enslaved laborers. This became increasingly difficult as the growing use of enslavement crowded out free workers. But he was eventually able to help his community with his carpentry skills and establish a homestead in Indiana. There, Lincoln grew up doing manual labor on the homestead and at neighboring farms.

    In 1861, the newly elected president warned that slavery threatened a system of free labor in which “the prudent, penniless beginner in the world, labors for wages for awhile, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land for himself; then labors on his own account another while, and at length hires another new beginner to help him.”

    Cantrell writes that Lincoln believed that both human advancement and political stability for the American democratic republic depended on workers’ dignity and ability to improve their conditions. He envisioned the Civil War as a fight between a slave economy that left workers powerless and a kind of capitalism in which they could use the cash economy to advance, improve production techniques, and create better material conditions for the country as a whole.

    Marx had a very different view of the capitalist system, seeing wage work as the mark of an oppressed class making up the majority of industrial nations’ populations. But, like Lincoln, he saw the Civil War as an opportunity to secure better lives for all workers. When Lincoln was reelected in 1864, Marx—on behalf of the First International—wrote to him with hopes that the “American Antislavery War” would essentially function as a revolution bringing the working class to power.

    In the end, the post-Civil War era did bring a new labor system, though not one for which either Marx or Lincoln had hoped. It saw the rise of large corporate employers and the consignment of an increasing part of the workforce to lifelong wage work—thanks in significant part to Lincoln’s Republican Party choosing to ally itself with the corporations.

    “If he had witnessed the capitalist excesses of the Gilded Age, it would have proved the lie to his conception of capital and labor in the starkest possible way,” Cantrell writes…

    Abraham Lincoln was no Marxist, but his ideas resonated—albeit with a rural American flavor: “Abraham Lincoln’s Labor Theory of Value,” from @liviagershon.bsky.social in @jstordaily.bsky.social.

    If Lincoln would have been appalled at the Gilded Age, what might he think of what’s transpiring now? “How Did Trump Do on His Labor Day Report Card?” (“Spoiler alert: He flunked…” From @timothynoah.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com.)

    As we take the day off, we might recall that it was on this date in 1822 that a prisoner-powered treadmill for grinding corn began operation at the Bellevue County Penitentiary in New York City, located where 26th Street meets the East River. Up to 16 prisoners at a time walked on two paddle-wheel like treadmills, grinding about 50 bushells of corn per day.

    Pitkä valitus tätä edeltävästi re: työnhakijoiden kiusaus, mutta tämä tässä lienee se lihanvastine (kuten isoäitini sanoi) eli proteiinilisäke (kuten sitä kutsuttiin Fazerin ruokalassa opiskeluaikoinani).

  11. Wasn't Dolly Parton just a totally reactionary pop star? “Dallas” as music? A concrete-like hairstyle and a glittery dress? Did I miss something? I've already read three times that she was better than Karl Marx. Some pretty unsettling connections. I went back and reread “Capital” just to be sure, and Jolene isn't mentioned even once. Not a single time… Hmm?? #dollyparton #karlmarx #pop #music

  13. The victory was a Pyrrhic victory; the celebration, a fatal arrogance.

    In his brilliant essay ‘The Inevitability of Collapse in the Age of Financialisation’ substack.com/home/post/p-20877, Ryan Perkins describes how this world, which has now dominated the Earth for 500 years, is coming to an end. The ‘end of history’ proclaimed by Francis Fukuyama after 1989 was portrayed as a victory for colonial liberalism. Yet the victory was a Pyrrhic one, and the celebration a fatal arrogance.

    Had one read Marx, one could and should have known this. Financial capitalism only functions as long as there is something left to conquer, as long as there is an ‘outside’, as long as colonisation is possible. With the end of the Cold War, the circle was complete. There is no longer an ‘outside’. This triggered neoliberal self-cannibalisation in the West, the comical culmination of which is the first trillionaire, Elon Musk. His trillion is a bet on a future that will not and cannot exist.

    On the other hand, there is the rise of China. In China, you see, people read Karl Marx. My first question to Deepseek (after I’d installed it locally on my laptop) was: ‘Isn’t it the case that whoever owns the means of production also holds the power?’ (one of the core theses in Marx’s *Capital*) – Deepseek replied, in essence: ‘I don’t need to worry. The Chinese are nice people.’
    As nice as people tend to be.

    From this perspective, the end of the world seems inevitable. The New World is already in sight … the Old World continues to pave its way with corpses. Cruel and helpless …

  14. Der Sieg war ein Pyrrhussieg, die Feier ein tödlicher Hochmut.

    Ryan Perkins beschreibt in seinem brillanten Essay "The Inevitability of Collapse in the Age of Financialization"  substack.com/home/post/p-20877 wie diese Welt, die jetzt 500 Jahre die Erde dominierte, zu einem Ende kommt. Das nach 1989 von Francis Fukuyama proklamierte "Ende der Geschichte" wurde als Sieg des kolonialen Liberalismus dargestellt. Nur der Sieg war ein Pyrrhussieg, die Feier ein tödlicher Hochmut. Hätte man Marx gelesen, hätte man es wissen können und sollen. Ein Finanzkapitalismus funktioniert nur, solange wie es was zu erobern gibt, solange es ein Außen gibt, solange kolonialisiert werden kann. Mit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges schloss sich der Kreis. Es gibt kein Außen mehr. Das löste im Westen die neoliberale Selbstkanibalisierung aus, deren komikhafter Höhepunkt der erste Billionär Elon Musk ist. Seine Billion ist die Wette auf eine Zukunft, die es gar nicht geben wird und kann.

    Zum anderen ist es der Aufstieg Chinas. In China wird nämlich Karl Marx gelesen. Meine erste Frage an Deepseek (nachdem ich es lokal auf meinem Laptop installiert hatte) war: „Ist es nicht so, dass wer die Produktionsmittel besitzt, auch die Macht besitzt?“ (eine der Kernthesen in Marxs „Kapital“) – Deepseek antwortete sinngemäß: „Ich brauche mir keine Sorgen machen. Die Chinesen wären nette Menschen."
    So nett, wie Menschen halt so sind.
    Das Ende der Welt scheint aus dieser Sicht unvermeidlich. Die Neue Welt kann man schon sehen … die Alte Welt pflastert ihren Weg weiter mit Leichen. Grausam und hilflos ..
