Marx goes on to list the origins of these "mystical properties".
1) Commodities are product of human labour
2) The manner in which the quantity and quality of labour go into making up the quantitative determination of value
3) The social character of labour
So yes the commodity has these metaphysical subtleties but the origin of these subtleties is mundane. Marx is showing how the commodity form is something really very peculiar and bound up with certain historical developments.
Well, only by showing how it was a false problem - it doesn't have a solution on the terms that the question is asked.
well that's my point - you said that 'those who held Marx to be the last word in philosophical modernity, and who regarded Hegel and the whole idealist tradition as outdated and superceded, actually missed what was most important in Marx and were left with a philosophy which returned to an earlier, Kantian epistemological problematic.'
then when asked what was the most important in Marx - you reel off a bog standard Kantian epistemological speel - so on one hand you're criticising those who returned to an earlier kantian epistemology as they missed out on the what was most important in Marx, yet when asked what this most important thing was you give a standard kantian epistemology
maybe i've not picked up on the context in which this is being discussed as its looks boring as shite - but what you seem to be saying is that whether people missed out on what was important in marx or not, they end up at the same place, your kantian epistemological. As whether they degenerate back to kant or whether they get what was most important in marx - both these things - in your words, are the same. As what you described as the most important part of marx (which those deginerates miss out on) is something that could be derived purely from kant anyway. So both routes lead to the same thing, except one of these routes you see as positive and the other deginerate
What's hegel have to say about usury?
Actually he's alludıng to the debate about transubstantıatıon, as he often does ın Capıtal. Yet another example of how modern ıgnorance of theology bars many from an accurate readıng of Marx.
Does somebody else want to field this one? I'm sure I've done my fair share of pointing out why Phil Dwyer is wrong.
It's like hearing an amazing guitar riff played by a highly competent musician who keeps getting the same chord wrong. A beginner does it because they can't help it, better players do it to annoy or for effect. So the effect you were aiming for was what? Apart from getting me to walk right into that one?How dare you ımpose your bourgeoıs speelıng standards on us vanguard of the proolytorıot.
A man after your own heart (or at least hobby horse) then.He calls usurers ''the worst of men.''
He's not wrong on this one though, a commodity is an article faith, value being not simply dependent on properties internal to it but rather relying on a community of believers to impart it with special powers.

Sweetie, kindly desist from channelling methlab. If you don't want to engage, nobody's forcing you to.well that's my point <long barely coherent screed>

I refer you to the reply I gave earlier. The commodity character is imparted by the underlying social relation - those social relations are not a product of belief that (presumably) can be explained away.

You and revol think you are in agreement but you aren't. Don't confuse his subjective idealism with your objective idealism.

Both routes lead to the same thıng.
