I don’t think I do. At least not in the way you do. I guess you mean that they are a means of production and are considered to be kind of fungible. I don’t know how that relates to the post though.
What? The post is about how under capitalism, with the workers being commodities, schooling and education are just processes to add value to a product. That’s THE point of the post.
Commodity in this context means something produced just for its trade value. Capitalism in pursuit of profits, which tend to fall in existing markets, must expand commodification into every aspect of reality. Including humans, and their labour. It was one of the first markets capitalism expanded into actually. It’s the whole reason slavery ended basically.
This is basic shit we learn in school the “Global South”.
It was more profitable for the nascent capitalist class to have a wage workers than slaves, it’s just that.
