What Is Commodity Production?

Commodity production refers to the production of commodities characterized by capital exploitation and wage labor under the capitalist system. It is the most developed commodity production based on private ownership. The production of material information that occurs at a certain stage of social production and is directly exchanged. Commodity producers produce a product not to obtain its use value, but to obtain its value. Use value is the material bearer of value. In order to obtain value, the producer of goods must produce use value, that is, something useful to society. Commodity production is a form of social production, but it is not the only form. ^[1]

The difference and common point with simple commodity production is that capitalist commodity production is based on simple commodity production in the late feudal society. But there is a qualitative difference between the two. The production of simple commodities is the individual production combining the individual labor of the worker and the means of production owned by him, the purpose is to meet his own needs. The production of capitalist commodities is a large-scale socialized production of wage laborers using the capitalist means of production to provide surplus value to the capitalists. The former products are mainly to satisfy their own consumption. Only after they have surpluses are they sold as commodities. The purpose is to exchange for the same value for their own consumption. The latter started with the production of a large number of commodities and sold them to the whole society and even around the world in order to realize surplus value or profits. In the production of simple commodities, although there is a contradiction between private labor and social labor, whether the commodity can be sold or not, and whether labor that produces the product can form part of the total social labor, individual labor products remain under their possession. In the production of capitalist commodities, not only the contradiction between private labor and social labor persists, but labor products are not owned by those who use the means of production to engage in labor, but are owned by capitalists, that is, developed into socialized production and capitalist private ownership The contradiction between them.

Capitalist commodity production and simple commodity production have something in common. Both are based on the private ownership of the means of production, obey the spontaneous division of labor in the society, and are regulated by the law of value to varying degrees, and both will become polarized. It is precisely because both are the production of goods on the basis of private ownership, so the initial capitalist production of goods originated from the differentiation of simple commodity producers.
