Note 982 — Chapter III · : MARXISM

“We think we can perceive a change in the physiognomy of our dramatis personæ. He who before was the money-owner now strides in front as capitalist; the possessor of labour-power follows as his labourer. The one with an air of importance, smirking, intent on business; the other timid and holding back, like one who is bringing his own hide to market and has nothing to expect but—a hiding.” (Kapital, p. 155.)
