[187-4] Skyler: Fwd: Your Submission Returned “Marx claims that a worker who works at half the pace of the average will
produce half as much value per hour.”
The value of a commodity does not increase if made by a slow worker because
the value of the commodity is the same regardless ofthe necessary labor time
used in producing it.
Capitalism weeds out the slow or inept worker inorder to control costs and
increase the amount of production per hour. The socialist society tries to
individualize people into those areas of work that they are good at.
Socially necessary labor time is an example of the manufacturing
(industrialized) society. For example; line-workers produce the same
products at variable speeds, although the value of the commodity is the same
regardless of the labor time it took to produce the commodity. The actual
socially necessary labor time is not found in a particular product, but in
the mass of products as a whole.
If a group of line-workers are producing bottles of beer at different speeds
the socially necessary labor time cannot be seen until the mass or the amount
of say 200 beer's is produced at a quota of 205 bottles of beer per hour.
Showing that the average time to produce 205 beer's is 1 hour, but the group
of worker's only produced 200 beer's in 1 hour. THe slow worker or the fast
worker cannot be seen although the quota shows a problem in labor time.
It is enforced by corporate and business America in trying to control costs
and increase profits. Done through the increase of machinery (technology). |
