Hence it is also not suitable for the use often made of it as an introduction to ‘th e’ Marxist theory of the state). g. in the standardization of the elements of production), etc. ' Revisionism is the form in which the class enemy entrenches itself within the workers’ movement itself, in which the ideology of the ruling class is pro­ pagated as the ruling ideology of the working class. This propagation is naturally not ‘by means of a mere idea’, but results from actual experiences, which are the common background to both revisionist theories and also the false consciousness of the worker.

Hirsch argues th at the particular form of the state must x be derived not from the necessity of establishing the general interest in an anarchic society, but from the nature of the social relations of domination in capitalist society. The form which exploitation takes under capitalism does not depend on the direct use of force but primarily on the dull compulsion of uncomprehended laws of reproduction. Indeed, the form of the appro­ priation of the surplus product in capitalism requires that relations of force should be abstracted from the immediate process of production and located in an instance standing apart from the direct producers.

It is therefore not a mere instrument, indifferent to content, but a real and com­ prehensible necessary moment of the establishment of capital as total social capital. 3 In the realm of competition capital can only become total social capital to the extent that the individual capitals really relate to each other. But this they can only do to the extent th at they act capitalistically, that is, as surplus-valueproducing capitals. However, not all social functions can be carried out in this sense capitalistically, whether because the production of certain (material) conditions of production yields no profit, or because the level of generality of many regulations under prevailing concrete conditions is too great for them to be performed by individual capitals with their different particular interests.
