Under the worldview of Dialectical Materialism I believe in objective reality in opposition to Machists.
And to respond to each of you bullet points
- Scientific Socialism is quintessential to Marxism. Making something up without a process behind it is not Marxist, there is a lot to it, but yes there must be analysis and not just feelings.
- All value is created from labour, we do not labour to achieve an abstract purpose such as salvation. Our labour produces things that we need and use. Being productive is not a value in and of itself, you produce to create useful value and a portion of that value is being taken from workers when they exchange their labour for a wage. It's the value that's valuable, not the productivity.
- This makes no sense and with time I hope you will see how ridiculous this looks. How can you maintain Objectivism, in a world of objects that surely exist objectively and not abstractly, and subscribe to a truthful fulfillment. This is the ideal, for an Idealist, not objective.
- Same as above point, sounds selfish.
- Individuality aside, as there is no inherent prosperity in that, all value is created from labour. Exchange does not create useful value, that you can use. I buy a tool for one unit, sell it at two units, how many tools are there in this economy? Can I take my two units and buy two tools? Yes, if somebody labours to create the tools, otherwise they do not exist. A tool can generate use value in the process of production.
