Abstract

For Marx, the peculiarity of the modern economic life is tied to capital gains. It is a form of enjoyment : the production of excess consumed to produce more excess. In capitalism, this production is not directed to a symbolic place: it is a real joy that reifies the man turning it into a factor of production. Enjoyment is at the service of itself in a sort of incessant autophagy. To move from the capitalist mode of production to another involves changing a economy of enjoyment. The proletariat, in reference of the class struggle is the only force capable of changing the order imposed by capital and establish communism. However, the proletariat, as happened with so-called "real socialism" can not get stronger from within state bureaucracy. Rather, their interest is the very destruction of the bourgeois apparatus. The aim of the workers' struggle for Marx was not the redistribution of wealth, but the destruction of the production process. That would be a radical and singular political intervention into history. Thus, contrary to what is said, both on the right and on the left, Marx did not propose a way of life based on the collective "common good". He rather strives for a world in which the universal man could, in their own individual particularity, exercise the responsibility for their own radical subjectivity. What Marx is proposing is the experience of the subject for everyone and not, supposedly, only for those who can pay for it
