In Engels's letter to August Bebel, Engels says that the Dictatorship of the Proletariat (DOTP) (e.g. Paris Commune) is not the state in the true sense of the term. Rather, Engels argues that an apt name for DOTP is Gemeinwesen (translation: commonality, community, body politic).

This isn’t a critique as Marx’s theory doesn’t stand or fall on his finances or lifestyle. It stands on its internal logic and explanatory power. This is biographical trivia, which is often decontextualized, presented as refutation.

Facts about Karl Marx > Hated religion > Constantly in debt > Known for outbursts > Never held a stable job > Children died in poverty > Lived off Friedrich Engels > Pawned his own belongings Why do people defend someone so detached from reality?

Once capital becomes the dominant form of production, the subject-object inversion happens. Instead of workers using the means of production, the means of production as constant capital uses workers to produce surplus value for capital's self-expansion.
Karl Marx@marxhaunting

Modern bourgeois society, with its relations of production and of property, a society that has conjured up such gigantic means of production and of exchange, is like the sorcerer who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells.

If money “comes into the world with a congenital blood-stain on one cheek”, capital comes dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt.

Thus, if the product of his labor, his labor objectified, is for him an alien, hostile, powerful object independent of him, then his position towards it is such that someone else is master of this object, someone who is alien, hostile, powerful, and independent of him.

If the product of labor does not belong to the worker, if it confronts him as an alien power, then this can only be because it belongs to some other man than the worker. If the worker’s activity is a torment to him, to another it must give satisfaction and pleasure.

As a result, therefore, man (the worker) only feels himself freely active in his animal functions – eating, drinking, procreating, or at most in his dwelling and in dressing-up, etc.; and in his human functions he no longer feels himself to be anything but an animal.

The “400-hour ugly chair” example is a textbook strawman. Marx never said all labour creates value, only socially necessary labour does. If a chair normally takes 2 hrs, then 398 hrs are simply wasted labour. This critique misreads Marx’s theory of value and fails to refute it.
Brivael - FR@brivael

Tu viens de résumer la théorie de la valeur-travail de Marx. Je vais t’expliquer pourquoi elle a été réfutée il y a 130 ans, sans méchanceté. L’idée que la valeur vient du travail a un problème fondamental. Si je passe 400 heures à construire une chaise moche que personne veut acheter, elle vaut pas plus qu’une chaise construite en 2 heures que tout le monde s’arrache. La valeur ne vient pas du temps passé. Elle vient de ce que quelqu’un est prêt à payer. C’est la révolution marginaliste de 1871 (Menger, Jevons, Walras), confirmée par Böhm-Bawerk en 1896 qui a formellement démoli la théorie valeur-travail. C’est pas un débat ouvert. C’est réglé depuis plus d’un siècle dans la littérature économique. Maintenant “le propriétaire extorque la plus-value”. Extorquer implique une contrainte. Or un contrat de travail est volontaire. Personne te force à signer. Tu peux partir demain. Tu peux monter ta propre boîte. Tu peux devenir freelance. Et surtout, le propriétaire ne “prend” rien. Il prend un risque. Il avance le capital. Il paie les salaires AVANT que le produit soit vendu. Si la boîte fait faillite, le salarié touche son chômage. Le propriétaire perd tout. Ses économies, son temps, parfois sa maison. La “plus-value” que tu décris, c’est la rémunération de ce risque. Sans quelqu’un pour avancer le capital et organiser la production, le travailleur produit rien du tout. Demande à n’importe quel freelance : le plus dur c’est pas de faire le travail, c’est de trouver le client et de structurer l’offre. Dernier point. Si le travail seul produisait la richesse, les pays avec le plus de travailleurs seraient les plus riches. L’Inde et le Bangladesh auraient un PIB par habitant supérieur à la Suisse. C’est évidemment pas le cas. Ce qui fait la différence c’est le capital, l’innovation, l’organisation, et les institutions. Je te dis ça sans animosité. La théorie valeur-travail est séduisante parce qu’elle est simple et qu’elle a un héros (le travailleur) et un méchant (le patron). Mais la réalité économique est plus nuancée que ça.

Lastly, the external character of labor for the worker appears in the fact that it is not his own, but someone else’s, that it does not belong to him, that in it he belongs, not to himself, but to another.

@floatovertrees @FakeCulture911 @IMHOJournal25 Marx leaves it underdeveloped, but not absent. He explicitly theorizes that concentrating capital under a single hand or entity, rather than many private capitals, does not alter the capitalist character of production. That seems pretty significant.

Now, therefore, we have to grasp the intrinsic connection between private property, greed, the separation of labor, capital and landed property; the connection of exchange and competition, of value and the devaluation of man, of monopoly and competition, etc.
