Descripción
This article develops a reading of the precise form in which Marx introduces the class struggle in his dialectical presentation in Capital. In addition, it offers a discussion of various implications that follow from that form-determined systematic place and significance of the antagonistic class subjectivity and action of wage-workers. In contradistinction to many contemporary readings that tend to ontologise the class struggle, thereby turning it into the most general content of the movement of social life in its capitalist form, this articles submits that it is a necessary form in which the valorisation of capital realises its determinations.
