    Conflating price with value is a pretty basic mistake and I’ve seen it in that sub from a fairly prolific poster lmao.

    Fortunately most of the comments were clowning on them but it still managed a positive upvote ratio. Thread is here if you want to take a look, it’s pretty funny seeing the poster try to defend themselves

      Reminds me of that one famous episode back during the old sub days when another prolific poster tried to “debunk” Marx by repeatedly copy-pasting the definition of “production functions” and claiming the only way socialism would work is through marginalism, he received hundreds of upvotes very comment

      lmao it was simultaneously the funniest and worst thing I’d ever seen on the old sub, leftist reddit in 2018 was wild
