| === Marxist commodity ===
| |
|
| |
|
| Commodities have a special meaning within [[Marxism]], as the embodyment of an exchange value in a use value. Within the Marxist description of [[capitalism]] commodities only exist to expand the amount of exchange value in the possession of the [[bourgeoisie]]. Exchange values, determined by the amount of work an average worker using average tools would require to produce such a good, directly express human labour and [[proletariat|proletarian]] servitude. As such, Marxists see commodities as a central element of the exploitation of labour within capitalism.
