Marx and the Concept of Historical Time · 第 181 页

¹⁵³ Marx, Capital 1, 916.

¹⁵⁴ ‘To this day’, but, and once again, in no way predominantly overtly today. The violence of originary accumulation is indeed aufgehoben within capitalist accumulation, but this takes nothing away from the ongoing necessity of originary to capitalist accumulation.

¹⁵⁵ Read, ‘Primitive Accumulation: the Aleatory Foundation of Capitalism’, 37. Read formulates this in conjunction with the following passage in Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus: ‘Hence the very particular character of State violence: it is very difficult to pinpoint this violence because it always presents itself as preaccomplished. It is not even adequate to say that the violence rests with the mode of production. Marx made the observation in the case of capitalism: there is a violence that necessarily operates through the State, precedes the capitalist mode of production, constitutes the “primitive accumulation”, and makes possible the capitalist mode of production itself. From a standpoint within the capitalist mode of production, it is very difficult to say who is the thief and who is the victim, or even where the violence resides. That is because the worker is born entirely naked and the capitalist objectively “clothed”, an independent owner. That which gave the worker and the capitalist this form eludes us because it operated in other modes of production. It is a violence that posits itself as preaccomplished, even though it is reactivated every day.’ See Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia [1980], trans. and foreword by Brian Massumi (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2003), 447.
