Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.
[Karl Marx]
I’d be interesting in hearing any defence of what I believe is indefensible.
I’d love the few paragraphs preceding that.
The sentence makes sense on its own, and i agree with it, but I’d love the surrounding context.
Here you go, it's in chapter 10 section 4, p175: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/download/pdf/Capital-Volume-I.pdf

I'll be honest, I just looked it up and shared the link (E: and in case you didn't notice, am not the op of the thread), I'm no good with texts that long so have never read the entire thing, though I have left the link open to read through at least this part once I have my cuppa, and have bookmarked the pdf for future reference, so I might have to get back to you on that 😁
