<<< We're all Marxists, now.
For as soon as the distribution of labour comes into being,
each man has a particular, exclusive sphere of activity, [in other words: job lock] which is forced upon
him and from which he cannot escape. He is a hunter, a fisherman, a herdsman,
or a critical critic, and must remain so if he does not want to lose his means
of livelihood; while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive
sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes,
society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to
do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the
afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after . . . . . .
. . . . . . dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic. This fixation of social activity, this consolidation of what we ourselves produce into an objective power above us, growing out of our control, thwarting our expectations, bringing to naught our calculations, is one of the chief factors in historical development up till now.
