You know we cannot really have an intellectually rewarding discussion about somebody's IMPRESSION of what Marx said.
If one is serious about discussing Marxism, we must discuss what Marx actually wrote.
I know, I know, that isn't how discussions are typically structured in this place.
Here intellectualy cowards really only like to wrestle with strawmen of their own design.
The links to his most pertinent writings are in the OP.
I cite the works of Marx in virtually every post I offer in this thread.
{The sum of money [1] which the labourer receives for his daily or weekly labour, forms the amount of his nominal wages, or of his wages estimated in value. But it is clear that according to the length of the working-day, that is, according to the amount of actual labour daily supplied, the same daily or weekly wage may represent very different prices of labour, i.e., very different sums of money for the same quantity of labour. [2] We must, therefore, in considering time-wages, again distinguish between the sum-total of the daily or weekly wages, &c., and the price of labour. How then, to find this price, i.e., the money-value of a given quantity of labour? The average price of labour is found, when the average daily value of the labour-power is divided by the average number of hours in the working-day.}
