A Marxist-Humanist Initiative Public Meeting

The Economic Crisis and the Rise of The Xenophobic Right

Entrance:£7

Intolerance and reaction are coming to the fore around the world. The rise of right-wing political Islam has been mirrored by Western racists and xenophobes consolidating behind candidates or parties more successfully than has been seen for decades. Donald Trump’s targeting of Mexicans and Muslims, the growth of far-right parties on mainland Europe, countries such as India, Israel and Japan electing hard-line nationalists, and a hardening of UK attitudes to immigration are all expressions of this political turn. This differs from the normal swing of the electoral pendulum from left to right. We are seeing what may be a major political realignment.

Is the turn toward authoritarianism and scapegoating of “the other” a response to long-term trends such as globalisation and inequality? Has it been triggered by the Great Recession and its prolonged aftermath? How shall we respond to it? Is the rejection of “neoliberal elites” a positive phenomenon or does that label hide the real problem? Is the Left immune to the pull of nativism, racism, isolationism, and xenophobia? This meeting brings together a panel of Marxist thinkers to discuss the economic and political dimensions of this critical moment.

Marxist-Humanist Initiative <www.marxist-humanist-initiative.org> is an international organization based on the philosophy of Karl Marx as further developed by Raya Dunayevskaya’s Marxist-Humanism. It holds that working people’s emancipation from capitalist exploitation and oppression must be their own act. It works to forge a new unity of philosophy and organization in which mass movements striving for freedom lay hold of Marx’s philosophy of revolution and recreate society on its basis.

Part 11 of my series of comments on Fred Moseley's new book.

http://www.marxisthumanistinitiative.org/…/all-value-form-n…

"Fred Moseley has just tacitly accepte...d the temporal single-system interpretation (TSSI) of Marx’s value theory. He now recognizes (more or less clearly) the contradiction between Marx’s theory and simultaneous valuation of inputs and outputs, and he takes a stand in favor of Marx’s theory. He doesn’t say this openly, and he is trying to wriggle out of the contradiction, but the handwriting is on the wall."

by Andrew Kliman Here is the eleventh installment of All Value-Form, No Value-Substance, the series of comments I'm writing on Fred Moseley's new book,
marxisthumanistinitiative.org

the discussion continues...

My comment on Fred Moseley's reply to part 7 of my "All Value-Form, No Value-Substance":

"Fred,

You’re trying to show that your equalized rate of profit can dif...fer from the physicalist rate of profit. But you fail to do so because your computations at the end of your point 2 are simply ridiculous. Your avg. rate of profit (29.0%) differs from the physicalist rate (11.1%), but your rate of profit is NOT equalized, and therefore your 'prices of production' are NOT prices of production. Your computations imply that Sector 1′s rate of profit is 85.2%, while Sector 2′s rate of profit is -14.3% !

Please retract the claim that concludes this 'demonstration' of yours: 'Therefore, when account is taken of the unique feature of Marx’s theory – that labor is not only a cost but also a producer of value – my interpretation of Marx’s theory is clearly different from Sraffa’s theory.'

What you need to show is that your rate of profit need not equal 11.1% given the same physical data AND AN EQUALIZED RATE OF PROFIT. You will not succeed.

Just published--the 6th installment in my series of comments on Fred Moseley’s new book. It responds to his reply to my 5th installment. Once again, the issue i...s the implicit physicalism of his interpretation.

"At first, instead of conceding that I have demonstrated that his interpretation of Marx is physicalism in “macro-monetary” clothing, he began to demand demonstrations with more and more distinct sectors and kinds of goods. Once he realized that that wasn’t going to rescue his interpretation, he began to engage in the intellectual equivalent of throwing spaghetti against the wall in the hope that a strand or two will stick. And he’s still at it.

"Nothing has stuck, but after his latest reply to me (Moseley 2016b), the stain on the wall is even bigger, as is the mess of spaghetti on the floor. He has responded to me with ridiculous computations that he could have easily seen were wrong, if only he had plugged in his preferred physical outputs into the interactive spreadsheet file I provided along with Part 5 of this series of comments. Below, I’ll show that his computations are ridiculous.

"And he has responded by badgering me to reply to his argument regarding a fully-automated economy. He now claims that his argument 'shows very clearly the difference between my interpretation of Marx’s theory of the rate of profit and Sraffa’s theory' (Moseley 2016b). However, it’s just a bunch of unsubstantiated and poorly thought-out assertions that show nothing. Below, I respond to his argument by showing that his 'macro-monetary' rate of profit is quantitatively identical to the rate of profit of the (other) physicalist economists, even in the case of a fully-automated economy. In this case, too, the fact that he expresses his rate of profit as the ratio of surplus-value to capital value advanced, instead of as a ratio of physical coefficients, makes no difference. It is all value-form and no value-substance."
