Value criticism (German:Wertkritik) is a social theory which draws its foundation from the Marxian tradition and criticizes the contemporarymode of production. Value criticism was developed partly by critical readings of the traditions of theFrankfurt School andcritical theory. Prominent adherents of value criticism includeRobert Kurz,Moishe Postone andJean-Marie Vincent [fr].

Aspects of value criticism

[edit]

Value criticism takes crucial aspects of Marx's critiques ofcommodity fetishism, commodities and value, while criticizing Marx's theory ofclass struggle andhistorical materialism. As a result, proponents of Value Criticism feel that the working class is not necessarily a revolutionary subject. Instead, it is pointed out that labor has to be understood as a historic specific entity and that criticizing capitalism implies not only criticizing the distribution process in capitalism, but also the capitalistic production process and the productive powers. From this, they conclude that allactually existing "socialisms" thus far have been in essence forms ofstate-led capitalism (nachholenden Modernisierung), where production still followed capitalistic principles. This interpretation, which rejects the traditional Marxist–Leninist point of view, is defended in the early text from 1999:Manifesto Against Labour.[1]

Feminist turn of the theory

[edit]

In addition to value criticism, a new branch appeared by the widow of Robert Kurz,Roswitha Scholz. The so-called critique of value-dissociation[2] (in German called "Wertabspaltungskritik") includes not only precise descriptions of the "abstract and fetishized character of modern domination",[3] but also seeks to explain why irrational attitudes are delegated to women, while men are counted as relatively rational actors in the capitalistic society.

Publications

[edit]

Publishers of value criticism in Germany are theKrisis group andExit!, to both of which Robert Kurz made crucial contributions. Much value critical literature has still to be translated into English. Elmar Flatschart from the University of Vienna is also publishing in English for the Exit! group. Moishe Postone and his work "Time, Labor and Social Domination" is often cited by value critics.
