a minor bugbear is that i think that the simple exchange-form shouldn't be written

x commodity A = y commodity B

but instead something like

x commodity A -> y commodity B

because while it is technically a symmetric relation, there's a kind of understanding with "equality" in mathematics that it's a law of nature and also that the content of the equation is the same as the flipped equation. in marx's exchange-forms, the side of the equation matters A LOT.

one of the main things i think i'm getting out of reading about marx's theory of money is how extensible it is, because the backing commodity is largely irrelevant and it fundamentally is societally dictated. even when you admit that marx thought that fiat currency would never happen, his theory still like- holds. it's not necessary for the backing commodity to be anything but a commodity, and commodities are a very general thing.

so what's the deal with fiat currency and the labor theory of value? like, if a thing can't be a value without being a use-value, and money is a universal exchange-value... what.

every time i complain about this i get told it is a "pointless semantic issue" and i am "trying to start infighting", ignoring the fact that i am jewish and trying to prevent people from trampling on the image of the historical genocide of my people, but whatever, who cares what the dumb jewish tranny has to say

like YES it's semantics. so why are you becoming apprehensive when i say to not do it?

i am getting very tired of people equivocating the 2025 political situation with the mobilization of the nazi party. it's as if everyone forgot that the driving force of nazism in specific was antisemitism and "jewish conspiracy". but instead we have people saying "this is how it started, with trans people" ignoring the fact that trans people were seen as a jewish conspiracy

anyway reminder to everyone that joy is not an act of resistance but neither is doomscrolling and rotting and being miserable and wishing you were doing something
