An LTV analysis begins with such workers because they are the original contributors of surplus value that is appropriated by the ownership class.

And what's that reasoning, if not based on ideology?

I really suggest watching unlearning egonomics video on the matter. I'm a leftist and mostly agree with Marx, but the LTV is a model and should be treated as such.

I believe you have fundamentally misunderstood LTV. It's a observational model rooted in objective, material reality - hence historical materialism.

I generally educate myself by reading, rather than watching YouTube. I'd prefer not to continue this conversation.

I think you've misunderstood what a model is.

Thank youfor the ableist, condescending comment. /s

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.
