Production-11.

The production of a surplus creates the
possibility of the expansion of freedom from
necessity. But in class society, the production of
a surplus also creates new necessities. Class
domination takes the form of the capture of the
productive potential of society and its harnessing
to the production, not of liberty, but of class
domination itself. The ruling class subordinates
the hack to the production of forms of production
that may be harnessed to the enhancement of class
power, and the suppression or marginalisation of
other forms of hacking. What the producing classes
-- farmers, workers and hackers -- have in common
is an interest in freeing production from its
subordination to ruling classes who turn production
into the production of new necessities, who wrest
slavery from surplus. The elements of a free
productivity exist already in an atomised form, in
the productive classes. What remains is the release
of its virtuality.
