It is not the so-called "labor creates value" theory that people distort now, but those people shamelessly distort the labor theory of value into the labor theory of value when they refute the labor theory of value.

Under the new historical conditions, China has further entered the capitalist society, which will correct the correctness of the labor theory of value. And the mystery of commodity (currency) fetishism revealed by labor theory of value. In other words, value, a social relationship in which people dominate people's labor, is said to be a concrete wealth and a material attribute.

In other words, the so-called GDP does not exist at all, and neither does the culvert of total production. Its real name is "the sum of wage labor for producing capital". Why is GDP a wrong logical concept? For example, if the growth rates of apple and pear are both 10%, it can be said that the growth rate of yield is 10%. But if the growth rate of apples is 15% and the growth rate of pears is 5%, we can't get a definite index. This question is actually very easy to understand. For example, the heterogeneous world in our real life is obviously not as clear as the production of 2 1 inch TV last year and 29-inch TV this year. As a matter of fact, apples and pears, as commodities, only contain the same time relationship when people dominate people's labor, that is, the power of social relations it represents, rather than specific wealth.

For another example, the value (exchange value) of 1 pound beef sold in a heterogeneous way may be the same as the value of 1 ton cow dung sold, but the "usefulness" of beef and cow dung is heterogeneous. Thus, value is not a "concrete usefulness", but a social relationship in which people dominate people's behavior (labor) at the same cost as beef and cow dung.

As pointed out in the second section of the first chapter of Das Kapital, "usefulness" is the objective existence of matter in that form, so there is no real "creation". Natural forces (including human labor) only change the form of matter and cause the transformation of attributes. So labor is the only source of value, but not the only source of material wealth. Just as air and sunlight are useful, they are worthless, that is, they do not contain atoms measured by money.

Here, the value definition of the labor theory of value conflicts with everyone's subconscious default value definition. Everyone's subconscious default value definition is "usefulness", while the labor theory of value is used to explain what atom the money pursued by capitalism is to measure.

Therefore, it is extremely shameless to distort the labor theory of value into the theory that labor creates value. If you can't refute the labor theory of value, go back and distort it.

As Marx said, "in the term" the value of labor ",the concept of value not only disappeared completely, but also became its opposite. This is an illusory term, just like saying the value of land. But this illusory language comes from the relations of production itself. They belong to the category of expression forms of the essential relationship 587 series. Things are often reversed in their phenomena, which is recognized by almost all sciences, except political economy. "

That is to say, "labor creates value", that is, labor can create human labor, and "the value of labor" is equal to Zhuge Liang's Zhuge Liang, which is a logical error. Therefore, the leftists who don't learn to read Das Kapital have to think that labor can create the logic of value, and they have lost their minds. They have no idea what the real labor theory of value is. According to the influence of language relations rooted in society, the theory of labor value is unconsciously revised as the theory that labor creates value, rather than the theory that value is a kind of human labor. The Rightists are obviously happy to see people distort the labor theory of value. Many of them have clearly understood this and have to distort it, which shows that their motives are bad.

Here, we should mercilessly reveal the true logic of labor theory of value and see how it conforms to reality.

Value (exchange value) actually represents the power of people to dominate people's labor, not specific wealth, just as profit represents the power to dominate surplus labor instead of specific surplus wealth.

In Marx's words: "The market economy (capitalism) pursues not wealth with use value as its purpose, but power with value (exchange value) as its purpose". "Because enterprises pursue surplus value rather than specific use value, enterprises are the product of class struggle." Undoubtedly, if surplus value is concrete surplus wealth, then Marx's view is wrong and extreme, but if surplus value is the dominant form of surplus labor, then Marx is undoubtedly completely correct and not extreme at all.

Capitalism (market economy) came into being to dominate people's behavior (power) to the maximum extent, and money games are like this. Just as profit (the transformation form of surplus value) represents not specific surplus wealth, but the dominant form of surplus labor. Therefore, Marx called profit-seeking enterprises the product of class struggle.

In this sense, value is like the gasoline energy consumed by a car driving at a certain speed and a certain distance. Value-added is not credit. In the case of a certain use value, it is a sin to increase the value. Capital is guilty, because it devours labor and enslaves labor into value.

"Capital" leads to the average profit rate through the cumulative competition between capitals, completely excluding the relationship between profit and material production efficiency and technology, which proves that it is a social relationship. Private property rights can promote profits, but profits have nothing to do with real material production efficiency.

For example, the average profit rate does exist in industries with different material production efficiency or unsynchronized efficiency improvement. In Das Kapital, the market economy is not the competition dominated by technology, but the competition dominated by accumulation. Accumulation-led competition leads to the balance of social dominant order with the average profit rate as the center of gravity. It does not optimize the allocation of resources, but just a balance of social dominance order. If you can transfer hundreds of billions of funds to thousands of kilometers in 1 second, it is really impossible to produce tens of thousands of machines a year, and the capital is much more flexible than "rigid production culvert" and "optimal allocation of rigid resources".

For capitalists, they will not wait for "rigid optimal resource allocation" slowly, but must expand rapidly. As long as their profit rate is lower than the social average profit rate, their enterprises are in danger of being acquired and bankrupt. Therefore, as long as they find that the profit rate of capital in this field is lower than that in other industries, they will sell assets in this field, or buy assets with higher profit rate, or directly increase the competition between prices and industries with high profit rate, thus changing the exchange ratio of money (capital) and labor again and achieving the balance with the average profit rate (exploitation rate) as the center of gravity.

Therefore, for a capitalist, if the exploitation rate is too low, it means that he is in danger of losing his capitalist status, and ordinary people really need to spend more and more labor time in exchange. Capitalism does not make people have high material consumption, but requires people to exchange more and more labor time, so that capital naturally earns money, and the atom (value) measured by money is people's wage labor. Just as Das Kapital predicts that there will be loan consumption, various forms force people to spend more and more labor time on exchange. Just like it used to take five years to change rooms, now it really takes 10 or 20 years. If one job is not enough, two or more jobs will be exchanged, so that the so-called economic GDP of capitalism (the sum of wage labor) will increase and the capital game will continue. When everyone reaches the physiological limit, then the economic crisis begins.

Therefore, the labor theory of value reveals this kind of money game in the market economy, because capitalism (market economy) operates according to the labor theory of value.

Surplus value actually exists in production, not when profits are realized. Loss-making enterprises are just a question of whether to turn them into profits. If it takes 1 hour to produce 1 cake for workers and capitalists, in fact, capitalists only need less than 1 hour to exchange, and wages are just rising water. The monetary value corresponding to the commodity value (labor time) is like a ship, that is, the wages paid to workers can be exchanged for consumer goods if they are less than 1 hour. Here, consumers and producers are two people. Surplus value did not exist before it was converted into profit, but it already existed in the process of workers exchanging wages. Here, even the capitalists of loss-making enterprises exploit workers, because the labor time (salary) paid to workers is less than the labor time paid to workers for capital production. Through the cumulative competition between industries with different material production efficiency, focusing on the average profit rate, Kesi proved that capitalists below this exploitation rate are in danger of losing their capital status at any time. That is to say, the labor time that workers can exchange consumer goods exceeds the labor time needed to produce this kind of goods, and the excess labor time is surplus value, which can be realized in the form of profit through the exchange of consumption. In reality, "price" (value is time, and price is the proportional relationship between time and money), profit (surplus value, monetary value converted from labor time) and salary are the proportional relationship between monetary value and time in this example.
