I would posit the flip side actually, Marx's take that labor has inherent latent value, and its products are the sum of the latent value, which in no way correlates to market pricing is the type of infallible argument that postmodernism thrives on.

- sudosysgen 4y agoMarx is a modernist philosopher by definition. It seems to me you don't really understand what modernism and postmodernism is.

- sudosysgen 4y agoI'm really not. The core of postmodernism is rejecting metanarratives. The LTV is far older than Marx and Marx was deathly opposed to the relativism and philosophical nihilism that postmodern philosophy would run with in the future. He was anything but postmodern. His arguments were classical modernist arguments modeled after Hegel.
