A significant error that I constantly run across among liberty-oriented fellows: the labor theory of value is not a "Marx thing", it's a "classical thing" -- Adam Smith himself subscribed to a form of it, as did Ricardo (which is a more explicit precedent for socialist theories).
The fork in the road that led to a more truthful theory of value was the Marginal Revolution that lies at the core of neoclassical theories.
