Talked to a journalist in Deir al-Balah the other day He said he had been consuming only ketchup and water for over a month And he counted himself lucky compared to others in Gaza This is a crime which will echo down the ages. And we still don’t understand its full extent

This is precisely the reason that Postone (a Zionist) tried to rewrite Marxism as a critique of the value form and labor instead of a theory of how the capitalist class exploits workers through surplus value extraction.

What Marx said: “the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.” What Western Marxists hear : “the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of the value form.”
