“A commodity has a value because it is a crystallization of social labor. The greatness of its value, or its relative value, depends upon the greater or less amount of that social substance contained in it; that is to say, on the relative mass of labor necessary for its production.” ValuesSocialGreaterGreatnessDependsAmountMassLaborProductionsSubstanceRelativeCommodityRelative Value Book:Value, Price and Profit Source: Value, Price and Profit
“People think that they have no right to judge a fact - all they have to do is to accept it. Thus from the moment that technics, the State, or production, are facts, we must worship them as facts, and we must try to adapt ourselves to them. This is the very heart of modern religion, the religion of the established fact, the religion on which depend the lesser religions of the dollar, race, or the proletariat, which are only expressions of the great modern divinity, the Moloch of fact.” PeopleThinkingTryingHeartStatesMomentsFactsRaceAcceptingModernExpressionJudgingDependsWorshipDollarsProductionsDivinityProletariat Author:Jacques Ellul
