Quote by Robert Kurz

“Car le fait que nous ne disposions pas d'une quantité infinie de temps ne signifie nullement que celui-ci serait en soi une denrée rare, nécessitant, dans une optique de "rendement optimal", un procès d'égalisation des masses "homogènes" de dépense d'énergie humaine. Il n'y avait vraiment que la socialisation de la valeur et son diktat du travail abstrait pour donner le jour à une idée aussi aberrante.”

“Bien sûr que la valeur est produite par le travail ! Quoique... Ne rejoint-on pas le credo solennel du marxisme du mouvement ouvrier, son "point de vue du travail", sa glorification du prolétariat "créateur de valeur" ? L'ironie de l'affaire veut du reste que le marxisme traditionnel comprenne son propre "point de vue" complètement de travers, puisque tout en affirmant que la "classe qui crée la valeur" est celle des producteurs, il cantonne néanmoins l'abstraction valeur à la sphère de la circulation.”

“Perhaps the grumbler will object on the ground that he considers p a vital commodity, much more important than q, and that therefore the production of p should be expanded and that of q restricted. If this is really the meaning of his criticism, he is at variance with the valuations of the consumers. He throws off his mask and shows his dictatorial aspirations. Production should not be directed by the wishes of the public but by his own despotic discretion.”

“Let us be prepared to set aside the habits of our own day and to honour the past as a treasure of neglected and forgotten, but still living, possibilities. There is no other way to escape the indignity of the despotism inflicted by our provinciality in time, no other way to regain the freedom only history can afford. We had let ourselves be convinced that history is useless. Much too late it began to dawn on us how narrowly this confines our horizons, how our growth is stunted when we seek nothing in history but contradiction or reinforcement, instead of frolicking carelessly and selflessly in its meadows, led only by curiosity.”
