Everytime an ad interrupts my experience listening, i just agree more,,,,
Every time an ad plays I listen because I love the commodification of goods and labor.
Im mad that a service is being delivered to me for free that my ancestors would never have had access to and i see an ad every once in a while so the service provider can make money providing it to me.
👀
im pretty sure I have seen a screenshot of this exact UA-cam comment make it onto leftist meme pages
@caseycaseycaseyidiotcasey i found it on a left leaning discord and looked it up. Im before this is over one of my friends will see my comment and light me up.
Coming from someone with a learning disability, doing doctoral level work.... dear god thank you man. THANK YOU.
i absolutely feel you, I have adhd so I have a lot of trouble studying theory so this kind of stuff helps a lot.
@@jacques7689you’re not alone here! My ADHD is really bad but I have to say, I’m having a blast listening to this while simultaneously reading it! People who upload these things to UA-cam are genuine heroes!!

I'm not an english native but I can understand this audiobook better than the real text in my own language. This recording is amazing
I love how I got an ad to join the military before this video
Thank you so much for the audio, your delivery brings life to his work! I have been listening to your recording whenever i can't sleep so i'll leave some timestamps to continue later on.
The value of this video is and must be equal to its labor inputs
Correction: The labor inputs which would be socially necessary to make it again. Lol
adding my thanks. this is what an audiobook should be!
Massive effort. Could only find vol 2 at my library.
amazing work comrade
Thank you so very much🙋
Thabk you for making thia availble. I managed to let the whole things play through. Thats about it though as i dont remember most of what was said
Automatic algebraic variables immediately with antiquated commodities. I knew it was coming and i clicked on it any ways.
"What?" Me, two minutes in. I'm gonna grab some popcorn this is gonna be a long session.

This is a real lifesaver dude. All the talk about coats and linens nearly killed me when I was trying to read the text myself.

absolute life saver. I also like when you laugh a little bit in a sentence. I wish other audiobooks broke the fourth like that.
Finally I will claim that I have "read" das Kapital.
Literally same XD I have adhd and can’t fucking read without having to reread the same page 10 times but if I listen I get it right away this is a life saver for real
@@xlifexwithxlithiumx try writing on sticky notes about the concepts and sticking it onto the page, its not really a book meant for casual reading
@@xlifexwithxlithiumx It's exactly the same for me
So that’s why Lenin liked this book so much, it keeps saying his name over and over. Lol 😆
Thank you so much, Andrew! This is a great audio book recording. You are a fantastic comrade, and I will be recommending your audio recordings to everyone in our reading group.

Hey man I hope you know you're doing amazing work. I've been listening to volume 1 at work and you're reading it perfectly. You really capture all of Marx's nuance and personality in the text.
This is monumental work.
Incredible.
You have a golden voice. Proper stuff. As soon as I become a pawn in the capital machinery I will send some crumbs for your labour.
This is the best audiobook recording I've heard. I don't know how to describe it, but there's such understanding of the text in the reader's voice. The emphasis and cadence is all right. It makes the book so much easier to comprehend. It's not a quality I typically notice but this is a really outstanding reading.
I agree. It’s not an easy book to read aloud with so much interest and vitality. This makes the recording all the more impressive.
Awesome reading, you really breathe life to this work! Love Marx but robot voices make the linen and coat talk hard to follow but your delivery is super dynamic and it's clearly something you're passionate about. Thanks comrade~

2. The dual characters of the labour embodied in commodities
Bless you. You are a saint for this praxis, comrade.

I find it no coincidence that Lenin and all this talk of linens is related.

Is this the Penguin edition? I am trying to read along and the text doesn't match totally.
Hey, yes, all 3 volumes were recorded from the Penguin editions -- free PDFs for them are available at surplusvalue.org.au/Marxism.html
The sickness i feel as I'm listening to Marx while I'm the Boston subway and seeing ads for Amazon *Medical*. Because that's what we need, is for healthcare to be even further monopolized and adulterated with capital. 😨🤮🤮
Thanks for the video👍👍👍

Quit forcin this diamond cutter to be in the nsa
I thought this was Jason Mantzoukas speaking at first
Is there an audiobook with the text all in a youtube video? That would help me a lot. Thank you.
Unfortunately not that I'm aware of; somebody wrote me an email once a year or so ago to ask permission to do just that with this audiobook & I thought it sounded like a great idea, but I don't think it came to fruition.
These audiobooks are public domain, so if anybody is interested in making that kind of video they can feel free to do so
In the meantime, it may help to download the PDFs of this edition of Capital which are available at surplusvalue.org.au/Marxism.html -- I also made a program called BookThief which can be used to print them out as booklets if that helps as well: rail5.org/bookthief.html

12 minutes in and I already see glaring issues with the logic presented in this work.
Labour and time are not the arbiters of value, this is an incredibly silly concept which is easily disprovable in observation of any human exchange scenario.
Value is subjective and set by what the customer is willing to pay or trade in exchange for a good.
The value proposition of a good or service is directly determined by the consumer based on their self-determined, subjective, intended or percieved use case for the commodity.
Value is not exclusively, inherently or even necessarily primarily measurable by time or labour or effort, exchange is not a zero sum game and wealth or value can be created based on their subjective nature regardless of the scarcity of resources.
This core misunderstanding underpins many flaws which derrive from this misconception in Marxist thinking.
The trouble with the "subjective" theory of value (which is a post-Marx invention) is that it fails to meet the one basic criterion for scientific theories: it lacks any predictive power (meaning, of course, that it isn't falsifiable -- any result can be made to appear to agree with the theory)
The "subjective" theory of value was deliberately conceived with the express purpose of avoiding Marxism, after it was found that the main content of Marxian economics followed directly from the Labor Theory of Value as a set of logical consequences. Incidentally, the Labor Theory of Value pre-dates Marx by quite a long time, and remains, to this day, the only theory of value which leads to accurate predictions.
It is however true that "value" is distinct from "price," and in the vast majority of cases, prices (while *determined* by values) are not the same as values -- they're altered by market forces such as supply and demand, and in the case of a *monopoly,* they can be decided arbitrarily -- that is to say, determined exclusively by consumer demand which is backed by the ability to pay. This is I believe what you're referring to.
If you're interested in the subject, I think you might enjoy reading David Ricardo, who made significant contributions to the field before Marx

Hey, I don't have any control over whether youtube shows advertisements. At any rate, I don't receive any money from them. I would recommend installing an ad-blocker
Why does he assume capitalists aren’t taking labor into account when determining the abstract value of a commodity?
Like if I’m buying a coat I understand the price is a mix between use and labor value among a million other complex factors.
Is he just upset that labor isn’t the only axiom for determining the value of a commodity? Life is complex too bad.
The issue he takes, and take this with a grain of salt, is that the labor value and the commodity value do not match under capitalism. Because capitalism encourages efficiency, it bypasses the necessity of daily life to the benefit of production. This is not what is factored into the commodity value and therefore, do not allow for fair trade because it is impossible to know what value the consumer is paying for, receiving, and consuming.
An explanation of how things would be if not for the concept of scarcity.
@ayy lmao only by people actually working. I do not expect you to understand what is meant by me saying this.
Shangri-la-la-la if you dont expect someone to understand you why are you saying it. Especially when you clarify that at the end you are just being condescending
Perhaps that is me just being optimistic that people will be more interested in seeing human nature for what it is to then make better decisions.
Take away the direct gains of my labor being towards me and I will not work. Hold a gun to my head and I will only do what I must for the trigger to not be pulled.
