Marx begins his career as a journalist, at the age of 24 years old, writing for Rheinische Zeitung from between May–March, 1842–3, notably defending the freedom of the press, and also meeting Engels November 16, 1842. Inevitably, Marx was dropped for his radicalism, which leads to the idea of founding his own paper, partnering with the Young Hegelian Arnold Ruge, creating Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher in August 1843, but which only had one issue, in February 1844, including publishings of "On the Jewish Question", "Contribution to a Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right", and Engels' "Outlines for a Critique of Political Economy". Marx wrote a summary of this as part of the article, which displays a confused vocabulary, later improved upon. During this same time, Marx was writing on economic topics, in his nine "Paris Notebooks" (1843–45), which were never published, yet Marx still highlighted different sections, and seems to have intended them for print in his newspaper. At least in 1845, he was contracted by Carl Leske to write a book titled "A Critique of Politics and of Political Economy", but which never came to be, since this was cancelled in 1846, following more controversies from Marx's status. So, the Paris Notebooks can be considered the earliest economic writings of Marx, the contents of which are known today as: (i) Comments on James Mill, (ii) Notes on Ricardo, and (iii) The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844. I will be reviewing these works.

(i) Comments on James Mill (1844):

This work contains lengthy quotations and responses by Marx. In the beginning, Marx disputes a supposed lawful nature of prices (e.g. exchange-value) synonymous with costs of production; citing accident as the coincidence between them, since the market admits of fluctuation. It cannot be a constant factor, elsewise there would be no market; Marx perhaps foreshadows planned economies:
<In political economy, law is determined by its opposite, absence of law.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1844/james-mill/
We see in Marx's later writings, a desire to set prices by costs of production, and so the 'anarchy of production' is only an obstacle to perfect equilibrium. Indeed, it is thrice, Gossen, George and Schumpeter who see that a truly lasseiz-faire economy would produce the sPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

(iii) Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts (1844):

Despite being unpublished, the manuscripts still have a preface with continuity from the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher, with Marx insisting upon a better system to understand his critique of politics in general – but which for the sake of censorship stopped his chances. Marx cites inspiration in this critique from Weitling, Hess and Engels, but attributes all credit of the "German positive criticism of political economy" to Feuerbach; and in an 1843 letter, attributes the very basis of Communism to him, expressing "love" for the man, but only to later see his "contemplative materialism" as ineffectual, in 1845. As for a stated methodology, Marx says he has a "wholly empirical analysis", which differs with later comments in Capital, that only by the theoretical is critique complete.

The First Manuscript concerns the "Wages of Labour", which as Marx writes, are "determined through the antagonistic struggle between capitalist and worker" adding, "Victory goes necessarily to the capitalist. The capitalist can live longer without the worker than can the worker without the capitalist." Adam Smith makes a very similar point, seeing that in his era, it was prohibited for workers to unionise, while capitalists did all the time. Marx repeats this point. Marx also references Smith in direct fashion, seeing the minimum wage as that which merely supports the "race of labourers" like cattle. Man in this case is a commodity, and so his labour receives a price according to the market. Thus, Marx writes that wages are determined by supply and demand, like all commodities; further, the components of price (wages, rents and profits) must be proportioned according to the rate of supply exceeding demand, leading to diminished returns for one factor of production over another. Marx sees a complete dependence of the worker in all this:
<it is most difficult for the worker to direct his labor into other channels […] it is just the capacity of the capitalist to direct his capital into another channel […] The worker need not necessarily gain when the capitalist does, but he necessarily loses when the latter loses.

So then, capital has autonomy, but labour does notPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Between 1845–6, Marx completed his criticism against the Young Hegelians, publishing The Holy Family, but failing to publish his incomplete German Ideology, which also severed the thread between him and Feuerbach. In 1846, his publishing contract for a critique of political economy was also cancelled, but despite this, he still advanced toward a general critique of Proudhon. I will be reviewing The Poverty of Philosophy (1846–7) here.

In the Foreword, Marx lambasts Proudhon as both a bad economist and philosopher, with Marx situating himself as a sufficient corrective. The first section deals with an antagonism between use value and exchange value. In this, Proudhon appears to presuppose the economic categories of which he seeks to enquire about, such as the division of labour and exchange – the actual source of the postulated antagonism. The issue presented is one of agency; Proudhon suggests exchange as a thing which is proposed between men, rather than emerging from relations of production themself. After this, Marx notes Proudhon's arrogant unoriginality in observation of the Paradox of Value, which is entirely fair. Proudhon also equates exchange value with supply (e.g. scarcity) alone, forgetting demand, as Marx writes. In this is also the strange formalism of a "pure exchange value" which defies coherence. A "priceless" item converges at either end of things poetically, but not actually. In determining supply as the cause of value, Proudhon also appears to ignore the fact that supply itself is a cost of production. Marx further adds that because demand is limited in its means by money, demand also counts as supply, each therefore are dialectical (read: Grundrisse Introduction):
<Demand is at the same time a supply, supply is at the same time a demand.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/poverty-philosophy/ch01.htm
Marx concludes this by also showing that a commodity is not either a use/exchange value, but must be both, so the antagonism isn't in things, but is between people. Proudhon sees it exclusively; producers vs consumers.

Concluding Section 1, Marx tells us that where single producers and consumers combine in their haggling, the result is to Proudhon, a "synthetic/constituted value", which is his jargon that relates to costs of production. SecPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Returning to the text, Marx offers thoughts on slavery:
<Direct slavery is just as much the pivot of bourgeois industry as machinery, credits, etc. Without slavery you have no cotton; without cotton you have no modern industry. It is slavery that gave the colonies their value; it is the colonies that created world trade, and it is world trade that is the precondition of large-scale industry. Thus slavery is an economic category of the greatest importance. Without slavery North America, the most progressive of countries, would be transformed into a patriarchal country. Wipe North America off the map of the world, and you will have anarchy—the complete decay of modern commerce and civilization […] Thus slavery, because it is an economic category, has always existed among the institutions of the peoples. Modern nations have been able only to disguise slavery in their own countries, but they have imposed it without disguise upon the New World.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/poverty-philosophy/ch02.htm
This is an important excerpt to consider in light of later writings by Marx on slavery, which seem to cause some theoretical controversies. Marx freely admits that only a wage separates a slave from a "free" worker, yet a slave is apparently incapable of producing surplus value while also producing commodities. Whence cometh value? It is exchange which thus constitutes the relation as itself. Marx briefly approaches this by saying that the very act of purchase gives value formation to non-commodities, making them commodities by the act of trading. But if valueless commodities exist, what do prices express..? If we take the route of money, only supply and demand can be said to have operation in markets, which Marx confronts, but rejects – I would claim, to his own peril.

Next in this section, Marx sees that through conflict in Proudhon's metaphysics, he attunes all of this to the object of a pure morality, which I would also see as the project of Adam Smith's demonstration of class warfare (Proudhon reportedly calling Smith one of his 'masters'). Indeed, as we have already seen, Marx views the project of political economy as a disguised moral philosophy. To Proudhon, categories which affirm equality are given imperative, like how "wealth" is both an "is" and "ougPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Wage Labour and Capital was originally a series of lectures written for the Workingmen’s Club of Brussels in 1847, later published in 1849, as newspaper articles in the Neue Rheinische Zeitung. They are elementary of economic topics, but still serve as part of the canon of Marx's early thought; before the Gründrisse (1857–8).

In the first section Marx discusses wages and their own determination, which in Marx's time paid different rates according to industry. Immediately is a stain of revision however, for Engels in his 1891 Introduction states that he substituted the term "labour" for "labour-power", and so we do not have the original document. Marx was not without progress upon this terminology regardless, for the "prostitution" of the worker is a selling of himself, as given in the 1844 Manuscripts, which is the meaning of labour-power as a distinct commodity (which in Capital is a point referenced by McCulloch, whom Marx shows prior familiarity with; although the term itself, "power" is attributed to Hobbes, for which Smith also borrows the term. In reading Gossen in 1854 however, we see that "labour power" appears current in German vocabulary during that time – the term itself is only stylish; Marx's point in substance is that what is sold is a commodity in the form of the labourer himself; his own cost of repair):
<it appears that the capitalist buys their labour with money, and that for money they sell him their labour. But this is merely an illusion. What they actually sell to the capitalist for money is their labour-power […] Their commodity, labour-power, the workers exchange for the commodity of the capitalist, for money […] So much money for so long a use of labour-power […] exchange value of a commodity estimated in money is called its price. Wages therefore are only a special name for the price of labour-power […] called the price of labour
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/wage-labour/ch02.htm
Marx thus draws a conceptual graph: we see that the 'price of labour' is really the exchange-rate between the two commodities of money and labour-power, equalling the costs of production for the labourer himself. Wages are thus the value of his traded commodity. Further, as Marx presents, wages are not summoned from labour as its immediate Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

should be noted that the cost of producing that surplus of food is factored into the price you pay. so if we're throwing away half the donuts, you are effectively paying for two donuts when you buy one. the purpose of the throw-away donut is not to be eaten but to create the appearance of abundance because market research shows people are more willing to buy the fuller your stock appears to be. since it's always in your interest to buy food, one has to assume this is due to some kind of altruistic tendency where you don't want to take away someone else's opportunity to get the food. so the overproduction is not just wasteful and built on denying food to the poorest people, it's also trying to circumvent people's subconscious desire to make sure everyone gets fed.

Because we developed our entire infrastructure around cars and individualism. So the idea of public transport is repulsed because it brings crime and forces you to be around people. Because you dont invest in your people let alone your public infrastructure it breaks down and becomes intolerable like the public transportation you were using. Public transportation should have investment so people have options to use it and help with congestion

Theint Win Htet originally requested her removal in a lawsuit filed against the Biden administration. That case was dismissed last year. She then filed a second complaint in July, arguing that she has no role in her father’s business. The sanctions had blocked her US credit cards, restricted her foreign bank accounts and forced her to abandon her master’s degree at Columbia University in New York. She now lives in Thailand with her mother, who was taken off the US sanctions list last year.

[film club] The Death of Chudslop
There was a time, long before I was born, when my country made good fucking movies. Movies that made me feel a certain way about the ethereal idea of “American exceptionalism.” Jazzed, man. Truly jazzed to be a chud. Rambo, Red Dawn, Top Gun, The Hunt for Red October, any Bond film from the Cold War, even if he is a Euroid. These films used to be what were referred to as right-wing cinema. And holy shit, there are bangers in here. They express deep-seated beliefs of the nascent American culture of the time, particularly among those with the money to shoot film. We are the force for good. The bastard with a heart of gold. The antihero. Bad things for the sake of democracy. We kill people to save the world. That’s the take. Not just any people, but the villains of our world at the time. The Reds. When we were focused, determined, and creative. Chudslop has been core to the American cultural machine and is now being sacrificed to the same altar it built. American culture (yes, yes, I know American culture exists as an amalgamation of regional cultures and fractured identities; shut up, this is about slopaganda), as we know it, is unsustainable. It drives the collective morale of a nation down as it burns more of itself for profit. The specific time and conditions of Rocky IV have come and gone. …

For marx, the asiatic mode of production is about the state monopoly on land ownership, and the apparent lack of division between town and country that was in asiatic society, where the ones doing agriculture and early industry where living in the same places, unlike feudal serfs (also control over irrigation)
It is a concept that has been mostly rejected by any contemporary marxists, including those in the soviet union, with some rebranding it the "tributary" mode of production, where the governing body exerce total control over vital sectors and lord over peasants without tying them to the land
