The means- the unconditional development of the social productive powers- runs into continual conflict with the limited end- the valorization of existing capital.
On the contrary, we have to explain the consciousness as the outcome of the contradictions of material life,of the conflict existing between social productive forces and production relationships.
The socially productive power of labour develops as a free gift to capital whenever the workers are placed under certain conditions, and it is capital which places them under these conditions.
The division of labor increases the social productive power of labour, not only for the benefit of the capitalist instead of for the labourer, but it does this by crippling the individual labourers.
The contradiction between social production and capitalist appropriation reproduces itself as the antagonism between the organisation of production in the individual factory and the anarchy of production in society as a whole.
It increases the social productive power of labour, not only for the benefit of the capitalist instead of for that of the labourer, but it does this by crippling the individual labourers.
Capital- profit(profit of enterprise plus interest), land- ground-rent, labour- wages,this is the trinity formula which comprises all the secrets of the social production process.
The special productive power of the combined working day,is under all circumstances, the social productive power of labor, or the productive power of social labor.
If one considers bourgeoissociety as a whole,“the final result of the process of social production always appears as the society itself, i.e. the human being itself in its social relations”(Grundrisse).
The private property of the worker is essential to establish small-scale industries, and furthermore,small-scale industry is a necessary condition for the development of social production and of the free individuality of the worker.
In the third place, the money-system is common to all production of commodities,and the product appears as a commodity in the most varied organisms of social production.
If one then makes themistake of treating it as the eternal natural form of social production, one necessarily overlooks the specificity of the value-form, and consequently of the commodity form together with its further developments, the money form, the capital form, etc.
Just as the social productive power of labour that is developed by co-operation, appears to be the productive power of capital, so co-operation itself, contrasted with the process of production carried on by isolated independent labourers, or even by small employers, appears to be a specific form of the capitalist process of production.
Given that the most precious goods in social production have an immaterial and reproducible character, we have discovered that the private appropriation of goods makes no sense, whilst the reasons sustaining the privatisation of material goods in industrial society have weakened.
But all methods for raising the social productive power of labour that are developed on this basis, are at the same time methods for the increased production of surplus-value or surplus-product, which in its turn is the formative element of ac ulation.
And thus the development of the social productive powers of labour and the conditions for this development appear as the work of capital, and not only does the individual worker relate passively to this work, it also takes place in antagonism to him.
The value-form assumed by the product of labor is its most abstract form, but it is also the most general of the bourgeois mode of production,and in this way it remains characterized as a particular type of social production and in this way, also, something very historical.”.
Just as one cannot judge the individual by what he thinks of himself, so also one cannot judge such an epoch of change from its own consciousness, but one must rather explain this consciousness from the contradictions of material life,from the existing conflict between the social productive forces and the conditions of production.
Just as our opinion of an individual is not based on what he thinks of him self, so we cannot judge such a period of transformation by its own consciousness; on the contrary, this consciousness must be explained rather from the contradictions of material life,from the existing conflict between the social productive forces and the relations of production.
