Here are a bunch of screenshots my friend sent to me, so I can make a post.
At first, we were brainstorming how we can get communists to understand something, yeah, I know why do we bother? I think it’s cause we’re bored. And he came up with this paradox of a question. Is a doctor from the year 1700 a doctor today? Is someone who read a book on medicine from the time they believed in blood letting, if they read all the books, are they considered a doctor today? Is a navigator fit to be a navigator today if they use a map from the year 1400 in which it says the world is flat and ends in a waterfall?
Why do we ask this? Because him along with so many others, which I don’t understand why.. call Marxists economists actual economists. He believed that they are economists, so we asked that, and he said no to both questions and hope came to us.
Unfortunately, as you can see throughout the photos, his response to subjective value theory was “supply and demand”. We have completely lost it.
