We call it flexible exploitation. Temporary and casualized workers are invisible. Temporary and casualized workers have no rights, have little wages, are dismissed any time the market machine says so. Power believes temporary, casualized and poor workers, by virtue of being so much fragmented, dispersed, and isolated, cannot get together and organise. There are other invisible workers.
Power has a name for our brain, our imagination, our dreams, our aspirations.
In so doing, power insults our humanity, by equating it to dead things, instruments of production, inputs, raw materials. Yet, power treats us like all this in schools and universities around the world. It does so by confining imagination and dreams to what is sellable. It redraws imagination and dreams through teaching us discipline and competition, through exams and deadlines. Human capital, is human and is capital.
