in vid 3/4: “the goal of the worker is for her private labour to become social labour” ehhh.. Isn’t the goal of the worker to do what is asked so she can get the money to get her needs and desires met?If that happens to be “social labour” then thats a plus, but can we really say it is the worker’s goal?I’m not too fond of the LTV concept because it seems to imply that workers ought to be the owners of “their” soclal product.If I work in factory A and you work in factory B and we both work the same amount of hours, yet my products are more in demand so is my work more socially valueable? Am I entitled to more because my labour’s value is higher? I think that putting a quantitative value on human activity is demeaning to the person and their work.Think of how school grading systems undermine the activity of learning and reduce it to quantitative values on report cards. It just takes out all the fun and enjoyment and subconsciously telling students: “you don’t want to learn, that’s why we need this carot on a stick to force you to!”The fact that human needs can be met sustainably and much more efficiently but isn’t being done for unsound reasons is all the reason I need to feel outraged.
