    lmao that one dork being like "LTV has been thoroughly debunked" only to respond with " but but but muh marginal utility" when pressed, completely ignoring that those two concepts are completely different

        It certainly didn't help that the Jacobin article itself opens with:

        Even among Marx-friendly economists, the labor theory of value has fallen out of favor. But its technical validity is less important than the core message

        It's weird, I feel like I've been seeing a lot of anti LTV takes from leftists lately (and I don't mean "post leftists" as they are by definition not leftist). A recent Vikki1999 video also comes to mind.

          notice how they say "marx-friendly" and not "marxist". which does all the heavy lifting for them.
