| This question <152|150> overall <128|131> Overlord: <1842|180>. |
| Question 94: Give another example where the same thing has two different effects. Can you identify, in your example, two different aspects of the thing which are responsible for these different effects. |
| [130] Overlord: Marx gave the example of two aspects of labor having two different effects. My example will show that a vehicle (simple passenger car) while having the main purpose of transportation, simultaneously has a different effect on the environment. The two aspects of the vehicle being the energy transfer from the motor to the wheels, and the exhaust gases coming from the tail pipe. The first aspect moves the passengers from one point to another while simultaneously the second aspect is emitting exhaust gases into the air. |
| Hans: Good example. There is even some analogy to the double character of labor. Just as useful labor cannot be performed without the utilization of labor-power, it is equally impossible for an internal combustion engine to drive a vehicle forward without polluting the air with exhaust fumes. |
