Marxian Logic (TEST ARTICLE)
One under-discussed detail of Marx was that he accurately captured the intersection of utility-based value production & the introduction of contextual-based value assessment in the Industrial Revolution.
It was guaranteed that a product would have value when markets were localized, were limited in substitution & were utility-based. Of course, the Industrial Revolution shifted that paradigm beyond utility-based markets where value fluctuated within many factors, expanding value-based markets on a massive scale.
The heuristics, however, haven't transitioned enough, letting Marx build his theory within that transitional period. He thus lacked the foresight to see it become invalid & it's evident when you see Marxian logic misunderstanding scarcity; the fundamental core of economics.
Every technological advancement is a shift in where scarcity is located; the backend absorbs the shift via resource cost, management, scale, coordination, etc. The Industrial Revolution was no different & moved scarcity from simple farm tooling to coordinating resources across factories.
Marxian Logic is frozen in 19th-century scarcity shifting; value isn't dependent on external influences (market fluctuations, subjective experiences, etc) since factory owners ought to pay for the intrinsic worth of the product. The marxian misunderstanding of scarcity is even more blatant when Marx assumed money isn't an emergent of scarcity; he was never well-versed in economics which explains his fantasy of a "moneyless society".
These are the roots of Marxian logic that critics constantly miss; it isn't contradictory to acknowledge the nuggets of truth & appreciate any other contributions whilst rejecting the package wholesale.
Marx was brilliant in sociological avenues but a total retard in anything else; his economic contributions could be explained with the "personal incredulity" fallacy; nothing more, nothing less.
