I love his accusation of “weaseling out” as soon as someone actually tries to explain the theory to him. Really is living up to the centrist ideal of “Only I know anything and everyone else is stupid so I don’t even need to learn about why they disagree with me or consider that I could be wrong about something.”
Marx knew what he was doing when he put the mud pie argument in Chapter 1, Paragraph 2 of Capital. It really is one of the most common complaints against the labour theory of value, and is still the go-to amongst CHUDs.
