Comment On Autonomian Marxism’s Reinterpretation On “Das Kapital ” And The Related Economics Manuscripts

The reinterpretation on “Das Kapital ” and the related economics manuscripts of Autonomian Marxism constitutes the important part of revival of “Das Kapital ” and the related economics manuscripts in Western left intellectual. They tried to formulate a new way that was different from the existing political economy, history and philosophical way to understand the Marx’s political economy manuscript, so that they can active the revolutionary and political of Marxism under the condition of Post-Fordism transformation of contemporary capitalist mode of production and shape the political image of Marx.Most of the western left intellectual focused on the avianizing and vanishing of revolutionary subject caused by the Post-Fordism transformation of contemporary capitalist mode of production. Relying on the revival of “ Das Kapital ” and the related economics manuscripts in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, Autonomian Marxism found some reason for understanding the revolution and revolutionary subject under condition of Post-Fordism transformation of contemporary capitalist mode of production. What’s worse is that the existing defect in interpreting Marxist political from the Second International restricted Marxist political economics’ explaination about the transformation of capitalist mode of production. So it’s necessary to break through the existing way in interpreting “Das Kapital ” and the related economics manuscripts and have a reinterpretation under the new historical conditions.Autonomian Marxism believes that the research on the commodity, the currency, the value, the surplus value and the profit of the process of capitalist production should not be confined to the economic sphere, but have to find the political relations behind the surface. We should understand the commodity, the currency, the value from the aspect of the exploitation, the power and the capitalist, while the surplus value should be interpreting from the standpoint of the working class. Thus, Autonomian Marxism explained the process of capitalist production through the antagonism between the worker and the capitalist and the category of profit not only mean the expression changing but also show the development of antagonism in depth and breadth. The antagonism extracted from the process of capitalist production was not abandoned as the ending of analysis, but throughout each particular category as the overall framework and methodological principles of the reinterpretation on “Das Kapital ” and the related economics manuscripts.Autonomian Marxism’s rejudging about the process of capitalism circulation was the continue and extend of the theory of surplus valve, and the theory of class struggle was eventually developed into the theory of revolutionary subject. The crisis as the form of circulation was translated into a law of class struggle which based on the working class. Social capital and labor was two main subject established by circulation, thus the theory of subject was completed. It was because that Autonomian Marxism transferred the dialectic into the subject that generate the structure and the “ quaderuple principle ”, so that they can break through the previous object mode and sketch out the subject line within the “Das Kapital ” and the related economics manuscripts.The theory of wage is regarded as a comprehensive of the class struggle inherent in the theory of surplus value and the subject developed by the theory of circulation. The capitalist endowed with the striking antagonism and duality given by previous analysis is becoming revolutionary politic based on working class. Depend on this, Autonomian Marxism put forward two strategies---Refusal of work and Self-valorization---for the revolutionary working class.Autonomian Marxism want to provide theoretical basis for the contemporary workers’ movement through the exploring the political connotation of Marx’s political economy manuscript and try to find a new way that is different from the object and abstract way in understanding “ Das Kapital ” and the related economics manuscripts based on the contemporary capitalist production and the need of the working class struggle. But the simplification of social structure---the basis of the capitalist economic category is two antagonism subject---and the bigoted views on subject depending on the immanentism makes this radical political interpretation with volumtarism. Although this interpretation has defect, it has influence both on theory and practice.
