>>25574You're thinking in circles to "justify" a price which really has nothing to do with political economy. Prices are set by merchants in competition and agreed upon by purchasers, who may haggle over price. There is a long history of haggling and side deals in everything a merchant does, and there is no law by which this process is "solved" or automated because the conditions of haggling are individual and contingent on things that are not themselves predicted and solvable. If you are claiming that you can solve haggling as a mathematical problem and account for all potentials, you are making claims about economic life that cannot be defended and claims about human behavior that require a lot of assumptions that were never part of anything in political economy.
For the worker, none of this has even been a voluntary arrangement. Workers had no rights, political or otherwise, and the idea that they did would be absurd in the 19th century. Workers do not negotiate as if they were equal agents. They have a knife at their throat and are made to dance like monkeys.

It's disgusting and no free man would ever think such a ritual is something he would do as an equal partner. Everything about that arrangement is the exact opposite of free agency and designed to be so. So, for the workers, nothing about political economy pertains to them or their struggle. The struggle of the workers is a purely political or moral one, and it has no direct economic value because the conditions workers require for their lives to be meaningful are never translated into money. The workers want to not be tortured, want living conditions of the goods in kind, and most of all do not want any law that suggests that their feelings and thoughts will be automated and decided for them.
I don't think the concept of a free society for the workers are admissible in the 21st century. That's how far gone we are. You can't even say the most basic idea of what that would mean without it retreated to the Malthusian, Satanic principles that now govern human society… at least, for the slaves. For the managers and those who hold freedom, labor is a joke. The present slave system is absolute and dominates everything humans do now, and you keep let
