[30] Hans: Nature of collective decisions under capitalism In [29], answering Question 53, Chacci wrote that workers who are
slower than the norm are not employed in capitalism. This is indeed
Marx's point of view; a reference is in the Annotations soon after
Question 55. But it requires an additional step which is too complicated
right now. We have to understand one thing at a time. Let us stick
with “simple commodity production”, in which each worker owns his own
means of production and is not hired by a capitalist. In this
situation, Marx claims that a worker who works at half the pace of the
average will produce half as much value per hour. This seems only
just to us, but I tried to argue in the Annotations that it is a more
repressive and less innocuous rule than it may first seem. |
