Marx1 Flashcards
Capitalist buy u as a commodity at market price as a commodity and use you as a labor, the profit is made in the difference
true
Capitalism is a disguise of a political system into economical system
true
Why are people accepting to live a lethargic life; they accept all what is happening around them (Why capitalism is lasting and expanding)
true How can mode of production reproduce itself
How can mode of production reproduce itself (Reproduction of mode of production)
In order to reproduce mode of production u need to reproduce the means of production
//If you want to reproduce shoe factory:
U need to reproduce stock of leather
the guy selling u leather must also reproduce his cows and animals
who in turns reproduce the grasss.//……
which must be reproduced among all the sections of population (everything must be reproduced including people and knowledge)
Moreover , u need to reproduce the relations of production (worker obeying the boss), thus u need to brain wash people to make them believe Capitalism is wonderful. This is done through ideological apparatuses like education where the individual is being formatted to be obedient and not to question the system
Everything that doesnt pertain to production is part of ideological sphere
facebook, schools, univesities, churchs, football cubs, disqotic.. (Ideological apparatuses)
All of these u do that dont pertain to production are part of the ideological sphere (apparatus)
The individual is being formatted through ideological apparatuses so the relations of production are reproduced (being obedient and….)
true
How u get a moral dilemma
Each of the ideological apparatuses has it is own values (subjectivity), thus a person will have thousands of subjectivities (each time u belong to an institution u will be its subject and u will carry it is values
U are a soldier and u are a muslim (subject of the islamic religion); they are ordering you to attack other muslims. As a muslim u have the subjectivity and values to love ,respect and help other muslims;whereas as a solddier (subject of the army) u have the subjectivity to obey ur commander, then u will have a clash of what to do.
Therefore u will have inner problems ( friction between these subjectivities)
How do Ideological apparatuses work and why we have them instituted
Example of classroom (act uare listening, thinking about something else)
Disconnect theoratical mind from practical mind.
We will have obedience without reasoning
Divide the mass (working class)
marx say religioin is irrational reasoning
we dont argue revealed work
For religion to work it need to be as irrational ats it can be
function of religion not relate to other groups ( u cant communicate with other religion that have multiple GOds)
u cant convince about each other because it is supernatural (revealed to certain people for example)
Thus u have debate forever
religion dividde mass into groups , thus u cant together to fight explotation
true
Marx says let us not debate on that
useless debate with consequence it will divide us. It is phenomenal illusion
Marx say ur reality is working class (he doesnt care about the appearance (religion…))
true
the institutions create lobotmization
true u dont connect things
