    Diamonds are literally one of the most artificially inflated gemstone values in existence. They’re also the most abundant. Just pointing that out for when you try to argue your point again.

      And yet it would have a high value despite it having gone through no worker’s hands.

      Yes, the economy is crazy in quite a lot of cases, yes, sometimes things are overvalued and that further proves Marx’s stance wrong

        Oh, yeah, I’m not disagreeing. I guess diamonds work for that, I’m just saying it’s not rare at all.

            True. Just for clarity, I think the Marxist socio-economic platform is absolute horseshit and doesn’t survive contact at all with the Information Age, because it necessitates an industrial/agrarian society.
