Conversation Between oneday and odysseus

  1. oneday
    Here is some in-depth criticism of the coop movement: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2016/03/w...ff-alperovitz/
    The relation to the state and the competitive market pressures are extremely important.
  2. oneday
    Yeah, he is easy to follow, I myself listened to him when I started learning. But I think he is glossing over some things or distorting the larger picture of capitalism as a system to support his advocation of cooperatives. I came to this conclusion from reading Capital itself (also reading David Harvey's companion book and lectures, I feel he has prejudices as well but they are not as egregious as Wolff).
  3. odysseus
    Not really. Wolff is just the easiest to access, and the first person alive I came across who has credibility. Plus he talks in 21st century terms. I honestly would not know a lick about labor theory of value or other concepts if I had to listen to all the marxist terminology first. But I think that now I understand the concepts, I could unserstand reading Luxemburg and other people.

    Wolff is useful at times but have you been exposed to other socialist thinkers? You seem to basically always link stuff from him.
