I feel like there's a divide between reasons why anti-capitalists opposed capitalism, which is pretty well determined by their stance on IP:

- As an IP abolitionist, I oppose capitalism because property rights stifle freedom; their purpose is to prevent people from using stuff and should only be employed when absolutely necessary, like with toothbrushes. It should not be employed with second or third houses the owner rarely even visit, and *definitely* should not be employed with non-scarce things like information (art, inventions, scientific knowledge, etc)

- pro-IP communists, on the other hand, seem to oppose capitalism because the bourgeoisie are leeches taking the surplus value of workers' labour, who deserve the full value of what they produce. It's a very zero-sum, meritocratic way of thinking imo, and I feel like I have more in common with anti-IP libertarians and ancaps than communists of this stripe, even though I agree more with the communists on object-level economic prescriptions.

The whole ‘critique’ of LTV by MUT must leave the sphere of large scale capitalist production wherein circumstances can be conjured for price to be more dependent on need. This obviously ignores the whole concept of value itself, but it also neglects the extremely important concept of particularity and historical transience in Marx’s thought. MUT approaches Marx without understanding any of the underlying philosophy, hence it presupposes that Marx views his theories as eternal categories just like they do; it does not realise that Marx refutes the very concept of eternal categories. For instance, Labour, as an abstract generality, isn’t eternal. Labour, as said abstraction, only comes into existence with the development of machinery as it allows for there to be undifferentiated human labour in place of labour as an expression of the individual subject, what we find outside of large-scale production predicted upon machinery. Once this is understood, the fact that MUT’s critique is nothing but an irrelevant straw man becomes evident.
