it should be understood that the principle difficulty is neither that of the state nor of "civil society", as is often thought, but consists in the functioning of capital,

which is a regime of linking phrases, far more supple, and far more "inhuman" (oppressive, if you will) than any political or social regime.

 and what if capital were a multiform way of dominating time, of linking?
