如果这些个人“屈从于它(阶级)”，那么这就必须被理解为历史的一个必要条件，无论是在思想上还是在现实生活中。然而，这个条件只有从劳动过程(个人)被包含在增殖过程(“阶级”，其可理解性依赖于抽象劳动的范畴)的观点来看才是有效的111
110Marx and Engels, GI, 82.
1Like labour in general', the category of class’ is the creation of abstract labour and the valorisationprocess, for how else is the surplus product yielded by surplus-labour' , in capitalism or any other mode of production, imaginable in isolation from abstract labour and the valorisation-process? This dovetails with, even as it is not the immediate context of, Marx and Engels’ s assertion in The German Ideology that the emergence of the classis itself a product of the bourgeoisie.' Ibid. 84. This does not mean that the separation of the means of production from the producers is not a condition of abstract labour and the valorisation-process, but it does mean that the latter are the condition of thinking the former as constitutive of classes'
