	A product of labor which satisfies some human want, and produced for sale on the market. Every commodity possesses value and use-value. “Nothing can have value without being an object of utility. If the thing is useless, so is the labor contained in it; the labor does not count as labor, and therefore creates no value” (Marx). The dominant feature of capitalist society is the production of goods as commodities. “The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails presents itself as an immense accumulation of commodities, its unit being a single commodity” (Marx). “In the value form of the product (i.e., commodity), as in a folded bud lies the whole form of capitalist production, the antagonism between capital and wage-labor, the industrial reserve army and crises” (Engels).

	The monetary expression of the value, or the price, of labor-power, but which appears in the form of the “price of labor.” Wages (time-wages, piecework-wages, bonuses, etc.) seem to be payment for the entire labor of the worker; hence, capitalist exploitation, i.e., the appropriation of surplus value, is concealed. “The value of labor-power is determined, as in the case of every other commodity, by the labor-time necessary for its production, and, consequently also the reproduction of this special article… in other words, the value of labor-power is the value of the means of subsistence necessary for the maintenance of the laborer” (Marx). Wages “are not a share of the worker in the commodities produced by himself. Wages are that part of already existing commodities with which the capitalist buys a certain amount of productive labor-power” (Marx). Unlike other commodities, the determination of the value of labor-power includes an historical or social element. In every country it is “determined by a traditional standard of life. It is not mere physical life, but it is the satisfaction of certain wants springing from social conditions in which people are placed and reared” (Marx). The tendency in capitalism is always towards the reduction of the standard of living of the workers to an extremely low level.

'''Idealism''' refers to various schools of [[philosophy]] which place ideals, or human thought, as the primary form of reality which creates and molds the outside world. Idealism runs contrary to [[materialism]], which maintains that ideas and thought are ''products'' of material reality.<ref>"Idealism". ''Great Soviet Encyclopedia''.</ref>

'''Eco-socialism''', also known as '''green socialism''' or '''ecological socialism''', is a [[Leftism|left-wing]] ideology which combines advocacy for the environment and its protection with [[Proletariat|worker]] control of the [[means of production]] and other principles of [[socialism]]. Supporters of this tendency recognize the failures of [[Green capitalism|capitalists attempts]] to protect nature.

Eco-socialists vary a large amount on their exact beliefs, with some promoting [[pacifism]] and the peaceful transformation of the [[capitalism|capitalist]] system. Some are [[State socialism|pro-state]], others more [[Libertarian socialism|libertarian]].

	Understanding that ~~Race~~ is not scientifically important (or at least not more important than say, eye color) theorists in [[~~Critical Theory~~]], [[Post-~~Colonialism~~\|~~Post~~-~~Colonial Studies~~]], and basically every relevant left-wing movement in the last century have advanced the theory that race is a social construct.

In this sense, race can be analyzed as an [[~~Ideology~~]] (i.e., an imagined relation to real conditions of existence, basically, an untrue idea that is implanted through socialization). For example, black people in the U.S. were racialized as slaves, such that to be black meant to be a slave.

			==Differences from socialist revolutions==
			According to [[Joseph Stalin]], bourgeois revolutions diverge from [[Socialist revolution\|proletarian revolutions]] in several key ways, including in how bourgeois revolutions assume control of more-or-less ready-made [[state]] machinery, bourgeois revolutions being concluded at the seizure of power rather than it being just the ''beginning'' in the case of their socialist counterparts, bourgeois revolutions merely replacing one group of exploiters with another, and other divergences.<ref>Joseph Stalin (1926).

'''State capitalism''', in the most common sense, is the formation of [[capitalism]] which involves the total subordination of the [[state]] apparatus to private [[Monopoly|monopolies]] and their complete domination in the political, economic, and social life of a country. [[Vladimir Lenin]] used the term to refer to the form of nascent state-operated capitalism which started to develop in the [[Russian Soviet Republic]] in works such as ''[[The Tax in Kind]]''.<ref>Vladimir Lenin (1921). [https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1921/apr/21.htm ''The Tax in Kind'']. Available on the Marxists Internet Archive.</ref>

The term "state capitalism" is often used by [[Leftism|leftists]] to refer to nominally [[Socialist state|socialist states]] which have what is in fact capitalism as their mode of production. Some [[Libertarian socialism|left-libertarians]] argue that [[state socialism]] is inherently state capitalist.
