Sažetak

An approach to the insights of Marx indispensable for looking forward today under- stands them as a fusion of three domains and horizons (cognition, liberty, and plea- sure), with a set of regulative principles (dialectic, measure, absolute swerve), and a focus on living labour. The discussion progresses from Epicure and Fourier to Manc’s form- giving fire of living labour. Against this horizon, capitalism is discussed as a cultural revolution based on measuring labour by means of quantitative time, opposed to use-value qualities, as well as through the metaphors from horror fantasy which Marx found to be appropriate to such a revolution. Its alliance with entropy leads to alienation and loneliness, and finally to a death-bringing economy. An Appendix on political economy and entropy discusses the situation today and a minimum program of counter-measures, beginning with rejection of BNP, which includes minimizing entropy.
