CRACK CAPITALISM

This is what makes it so difficult to simply walk away from
capital, to serve no more and let the tyrant topple. The term
'abstract' reminds us of that. The labour that we perform in the
factory, in the office, in the university, is not just drudgery: it
is a web-weaving activity, a process of self-entrapment. But the
term abstract labour also reminds us of something else: that it is
just one face of the dual character of doing, and that the other
face still awaits us in the shadows. In what follows, we shall
look at the web of abstract labour before turning to the dark,
to ourselves. In looking at the different faces of the domination
of abstract labour, it is important to bear in mind that there is
another side, one that is gathering strength.
