This makes me think I should stop being a fucking weepy lib and read the theory already, it seems clear enough to me

Maybe I’m wrong but the quick gist I get from it is that the commodification of labor (the result of laborers no longer being as strictly defined as “the tiny blob of people who live in the area”) has uprooted it, to be passed around like fuel, or accumulated in surplus or scarcity like a speculative item. And this is made possible by the same set of incentives that make owners want a dense population of labor around their factories, so that labor can just trickle in instead of having to be coerced and bribed into coming to live around the business.

If someone smart wants to tell me how I’m wrong I’m all for it
