EXIT!

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The group EXIT! , which publishes the theoretical journal of the same name, deals critically with both the system of capitalist commodity production and the attempts to explain traditional Marxism in the context of its critique of political economy . EXIT! subjects business rationality, " abstract work " ( Marx ) and their forms of expression value, commodity, money and market to a fundamental critique.

One of the main themes of the group EXIT! is the diagnosis made for the first time in the essay The Crisis of Exchange Value by Robert Kurz ,

"That capital is digging its own grave through the compulsive increase in productivity (or productive power) induced by market competition, because it is increasingly taking work, but with it its own substance, from the production process that creates added value."

- Claus Peter Ortlieb :

The so-called “splitting off theorem” of the author Roswitha Scholz occupies a large space in the theory journal .

EXIT is particularly keen on what the group calls “class struggle Marxism”, criticizing that traditional Marxism only cares about the fair distribution of value:

"It is not the 'position of work' and the 'pride in value creation' that lead us beyond capitalism, but on the contrary the radical criticism of the modern 'real abstractions' of work and value."

- With Marx beyond Marx: The theoretical project of the group "EXIT!"

The group EXIT! emerged from a split in the Krisis group , with its most active and prominent author Robert Kurz creating the new group EXIT! co-founded.
