Body: The capitalist system does not work by magic, but thanks to the invisible labour of many women. We live in a system of exploitation that conceives labour as a source of wealth and accumulation.
Time: The system imposes an imperialist rhythm on our time, in which our lives revolve around employment and consumption. Care is not a priority and we have to work against the clock. Globalisation has brought with it the internet and other forms of technological innovation that have compressed space-time, allowing for the concentration and overload of tasks.
Territory: Capital dispossesses us of our territories. It fragments them and imposes borders so that we are increasingly separated. Less organised. Being "owners" of the territory allows us to organise ourselves to take care of the commons.
