value added vs value appropriated


surplus appropriaters
have no entitlements
their share
is what the series of related
tranactions
leaves them
no more and no less

appropriate

"To take possession of
or make use of
exclusively for oneself,
often without permission"

the value added in
production

is labor time
TO BE PRECISE
SOCIALLY NECESSARY ABSTRACT LABOR TIME
OR
SNALT

snalt is a whole

the appropriation of its equivalent
by various folks
the producres
of that value
and under
systems of exploitation
by definition
also non producers of that value

is not an additive process

but a eextractive process
at least
that share of the value appropriated by non producers of that value


the use value produced is a unity
regardless of its specific pathway
to the point of use
it is a matter of indifference to the user

the
sharing out of that use valuers exchange value
among all these parties involved in getting this use valueit
to the ultimate user
may have regularities
but they carry no entitlements

when in tha marketplace
would be appropriators
must look out
for their own
best interests

no one else will
