The capitalist production process has Duality On the one hand Specific labor create use value Of Labor process On the other hand Abstract labour Forming value and Value proliferation Process. capitalism The production process is the labor process and Value proliferation process Unification of. [1]
In the capitalist production process, the labor process, as a process of capitalist consumption of labor, has two characteristics: one is that workers work under the supervision of the capitalist. His labor belongs to the capitalist; Second Labor products It belongs to the capitalists, not to the workers who directly produce it. The secret of the process of value increase lies in the use of labor, that is, labor creates value and surplus value Although the capitalists paid the wages according to their value when purchasing labor, the value created by workers in the use of labor was greater than the wages, so that the value increased, and the capitalists were able to occupy the surplus value created by workers for free. [2]
Marx believed that "as the labor process and Value formation process The unity of, Production process yes commodity production Process; As the unity of labor process and value multiplication process, the production process is capitalism The production process is a capitalist form of commodity production.

The capitalist production process is not only production use value Of Labor process , also Production surplus value Of Value proliferation process The process of value formation is the basis of the process of value multiplication.
① The process of value formation is both labor spent in production Created New value The process of Materialized labor I.e Means of production The transfer process of old value. These two processes are used to produce goods Duality of labor Based on. In the process of production Specific labor It has created new use value and transferred the value of means of production to new products. At the same time, the workers' Abstract labour Create new value, that is, condense the labor expended in the production process into new products. On the one hand, the labor of workers transfers the value of the means of production to new products, on the other hand, it creates new value, and the two combine to form the total value of commodities.
② The process of value multiplication is the process of value formation that has been extended beyond a certain point. This point is that workers use it to reproduce themselves value of labor power Time of. In the process of value increase Working hours It is divided into two parts, one is the time to reproduce the value of labor force, namely Necessary labor time The other part is the time to produce surplus value for the capitalists free of charge, that is Remaining labor time
Necessary labor time Internal labor is called necessary labor, Time remaining Internally expended labor is called surplus labor The surplus labor of employed workers is surplus value The source of production. Surplus value is the part of the value created by the hired workers in the remaining labor time that is occupied by the capitalists free of charge and exceeds the labor value. It directly reflects the capitalist's exploitative relationship with the employed workers.
③ The characteristic of capitalist production process is to make the whole labor time of workers exceed this certain point, so that the process of value formation can be transformed into the process of value multiplication, and become the production process of surplus value.
