German and English reserve the word free for things and services - TopicsExpress



          

German and English reserve the word free for things and services which cost nothing. Aside from a critique of political economy, this bears witness to the unfreedom posited in the exchange relationship itself; there is no freedom as long as everything has its price, and in reified society things exempted from the price mechanism exist only as pitiful rudiments. On closer inspection they too are usually found to have their price, and to be handouts with commodities or at least with domination: drone videos make imperialist warfare more endurable to those who are not the most immediate victims of it.
