Freedom

But it would not be mystified, it would appear as planning, as relations between people, not as relations between things.

And I think this is crucial because to Marx, I think, The notion of human freedom is central, and the sense that we are governed by commodities, the fact that society operates at a level that no one understands but that subsumes all of us under its effects, under its laws enforced by things like competition, is to Marx the opposite of freedom.

Freedom and understanding what we are doing as a society to Marx are closely linked.

To be part of a project whose purpose you understand and can negotiate in, et cetera, is part of what it means to be a member of a society that Marx would consider a free association of free producers.
