Yo brendan, great vid as always. I was thinking of translating your vids into french and spanish and sending you the transcript- I can probably find your email on your blog right? Have you though about getting them more exposure (say on the ows sites etc)? They are refreshing change from conspiracy nuts. BTW i think your good articulation has lead to a largely successful Youtube transcription (first time ever!) so for those in need of subs, use cc.
@fregeslogic Any advice or help in getting my videos wider exposure is appreciated. Please feel free to repost on OWS pages or elsewhere, link, sub, share, forward, etc.
you talk a lot about produced commodities etc. but what about the service industry and non-manufacturing jobs such as teaching and private education institutions, advertising agencies, computer programming etc. How does that fit in with Marx?
@GalenAus Services are commodities is they are sold for an exchange value. State sector jobs, like public teaching you mentioned, are don't usually produce commodities unless the public job is actually selling something (post office, though I think that's quasi-public). Public-school teachers, for instance, don't create exchange value. Their labor is a massive subsidy to capital, educating the working class to prepare the future labor force for wage labor.
