Introduction to your market for social capital
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his
need.”
Marx said
This has often been interpreted to mean that everything should be shared equally. But Marx says
nothing about equality, rather he emphasizes the relationships
between people.
A communist society is a society where everyone is linked in a mutual interdependency with others and self-actualization is
the driving force.
a little bit like Facebook
but for work
In Pappenheim’s words:
“If our goal is to overcome alienation by fostering bonds
between man and man, then we must build up institutions which enable man to identify his ends with those of others, with the
direction in which his society is moving.”
“In other words, we must try to reduce the gulf
between the realms of the private and the public.”

So what did Marx say about production?
“In your enjoyment, or use, of my product I would have the direct
enjoyment both of being conscious of having satisfied a human need by my work, [---], and of having
thus created an object corresponding to the need of
another man’s essential nature. . .”
Meaning that the relation between the producer and consumer is
central
I have to like what I do.You have to like what I do
andI have to like that you like what I
do
This also means that no one can own anyone else's work, or even their own work, as value cannot exist outside of this relationship
Your relations are the value, or the product.
