![Screenshot of Chapter six of Capital, it reads:
"The change of value that occurs in the case of money intended to be converted into capital, cannot take place in the money itself, since in its function of means of purchase and of payment, it does no more than realise the price of the commodity it buys or pays for; and, as hard cash, it is value petrified, never varying. [1] Just as little can it originate in the second act of circulation, the re-sale of the commodity, which does no more than transform the article from its bodily form back again into its money-form. The change must, therefore, take place in the commodity bought by the first act, M-C, but not in its value, for equivalents are exchanged, and the commodity is paid for at its full value. We are, therefore, forced to the conclusion that the change originates in the use-value, as such, of the commodity, i.e., in its consumption. In order to be able to extract value from the consumption of a commodity, our friend, Moneybags, must be so lucky as to find, within the sphere of circulation, in the market, a commodity, whose use-value possesses the peculiar property of being a source of value, whose actual consumption, therefore, is itself an embodiment of labour, and, consequently, a creation of value. The possessor of money does find on the market such a special commodity in capacity for labour or labour-power."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:b35n5mvbwivppajrm7wzndsq/bafkreibm7r2vkjaqkquivdb4c7czcevkgzfecj3xdb3xisn6gexl3zbjtm)

"George Robert Acworth Conquest (15 July 1917 – 3 August 2015) was an anti-communist historian and former British intelligence officer. Even many anti-communists have rejected his claims of genocide against Ukrainians during the 1931–1933 Soviet famine. He has also severely exaggerated repression during the Soviet purges.[1] Many of his writings rely on writings from obscure émigrés or secondhand stories. He claimed that 3.5 million kulaks died after being deported to Siberia, more than twice the total number of deportees.[2]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:b35n5mvbwivppajrm7wzndsq/bafkreig4246ekeintub6cgtyhbflbovkosn3ajxcdukpnuz65jedu2wvxe)
