Vídeo que produzi e roterizei, feito em After Effects e 3D Studio Max, explica a importância das Commodities no mundo.
Video Rating: 5 / 5
This phenomenon where objects have social power, in which things act as if they have a will of their own, is what Marx sought to unravel with his notion of “…
pena q o povão num tá nem ai p aprender…
Bacana… muito didático. Parabéns!!!

muito bom e esclarecedor!
Massa a diferença q tem da Bovespa :@
estou estudando agora um pouco de economia e estou achando incrivel!!
Também achei elucidativo.
“Today people know the price of everything, the value of nothing.”
Thank you for taking the time to create these videos.
Does this explain why people in this society are willing to trample another
human being just to get that TV for $5 off on black Friday? People develop
emotional relationships with commodities instead of relationships with
other humans.
Only complete economic ignorant can take this bullshit seriously…
Thanks for the explanation, I finally got that clear.
marx’s views on religion are more linked to his views on alienation than on
commodities although they are somewhat linked. he saw religion as a
response to and a reflection of the alienation people feel in exploitative
systems such as capitalism. i think he would never advocate banning
religion but would probably say it is likely to naturally fade away when
alienation does. again, this is not to say that religion is incompatible
with communism, just that it probably wouldnt exist
It’s misleading if you don’t have a sense of humor. I would hope viewers
could make the distinction. I’ve seen much worse in classrooms. At some
point a while back some teacher overseas asked me to make an edit of this
without that vintage-spanking clip so that she could use it in a class.
Would you be interested in this? I’d have to dig it up. The other option
would be to walk in front of the projector for 5 seconds during that part
of the video.
Thanks for the (very quick) reply. Actually, I would love it if you could
find that other version without the spanking clip. You do explain things
very well, and the time you put into making a good video is apparent. It’s
truly just the one clip… Post a note here if you’re able to find it – and
thank you!
we become “atomized individuals” by selling our labour as a commodity right?
you are so focused on the explanation of commodity and the importance of
exchange value and use value of commodity, I feel like you barely touch on
commodity fetishism. I’m still confused with what commodity fetishism is
about, can you explain more?
A nice explanation. Unfortunately, completely unusable in my class due to
the unnecessary and misleading sexual imagery. Marx was not thinking of
sexual fetishism in his writing, as you are aware. Adding the sex is
therefore misleading, something I could explain to the class, but the
imagery is sufficiently explicit as to make it unshowable in a classroom
setting. Very unfortunate.
I really appreciate your effort – it means a lot for people who still lazy
to read much, like me 🙂
Actually if you look at it closely, there is not much difference between
for example Christianity and Communism in their respective theories (in
practice perhaps there are). In Marxist theory however Capitalism itself is
a form of religion and in that sense you cannot be religious. Hope that
explains it 🙂
You are welcome. I’m glad I was able to help clarify. I agree that my
videos have a lot of information and that they move quickly. This is due to
the complexity of the material and the need to fit it all into a short
video. I always encourage viewers to follow the link to my wordpress blog
where the full text can be read at one’s leisure and where there is space
for discussion.
