THE USE VALUE

Summary/Abstract: The main thesis on which the author has based his analysis is that the interpretation of the concept of use value by only the physical characteristics of commodity is the result of the mechanistic revision of Marxism, by which certain philosophical and conceptual foundations of Marx’s operative theory of value have been reduced to a vulgarised conception similar to Smith’s. Just as value does not exist at all, use value does not exist at all either. Its concrete historical forms, although resting on the material aspect of the product, express the specific social usability, the result of specific social relations, or even consist of those same social relations. Therefore, in the analysis of commodity, it is posible to speak only a of the social use value (te use value for others), which constitutes the non-authentic socialised production relation(ship). The process of false socialisation of the use value of the product as a commodity is merely the process complementary to the process of fetishising of the production relation (ship). Therefore, not even in socialism, can there be any one-sided alteration of the production relations, and to the achievement of that aim is related the function of socialism, for it does not reach to the essential determination of needs the new system of values, which is the prerequisite of the de socialisation of the use value and its transformation into the material basis of social life.
