What is your point? Capital as undead not only implies, but _requires_ (if we are to seriously use the vampire metaphor) a particular relation to labour. I.e. IF capital is vampiric and undead THEN the labor employed by capital MUST be undead.

There is nothing wrong with it in vampire stories. > And there is resistance to vampires in vampire movies! BUT NOT BY THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY UNDEAD! ONLY those who have not been bitten by vampires can resist. > So I really have no idea what you are talking about. Of course not: you did say: "I know nothing about vampires." In solidarity, Jerry
