    I haven’t coined too many Marxist/Marxian terms in my conlang, but one thing I’ve tried to keep in mind when I have is to “dejargonize” and basically have each term be its own definition to whatever extent possible. The first example to come to mind is sotaňogestkruňiya (“commodity fetishism”): with-birth wealth-ness to-head-collection, i.e. “innate value ideology”. I think that’s a much clearer term for the belief that commodities’ exchange values are inherent to them than a term that assumes you have the cultural context of 19th century anthropology.
