    Because at its core, a commodity is comprised of natural material and the labor that transforms it into something with use value. It isn’t an ideological statement to say a commodity is only a commodity by the labor that creates it, it’s just a statement of fact.

      Reducing value to nothing but commodities is already a very ideologically charged act. We were talking about value before. The value of commodities is only a subset of what counts as value.
