[19] Sprockets: Laziness in an exploitive system If the system in this question is being exploited by the
laborer, than I would have to say no, it is not a character
flaw to be lazy in such a exploitive system. As Marx says:
“...if the value of a commodity is determined by the amount
of labor spent in its production, the more lazy and inept
the laborer, the more valuable his commodity would be, ...”
[129:2]. Marx validates this idea with the concept
that, in this system, if the time spent producing one
commodity is greater than the time spent producing an
identical commodity, than the value of the first commodity
would be greater than the other. This is ideal to a laborer
as means of exploitation. Laziness would not be a character
flaw, it would be an attribute. |
