The formation of subjectivity within capitalism begins with the creation of a working class in the beginning of a capitalist economy. This changes into the expansion of capitalism into all aspects of social relations in the present. Capitalism thus exists on two levels. One is the eternal level where the appropriation of value from workers is a constant, and the other is the historical level where there is the development of formal subsumption into real subsumption over time. Real subsumption is where economic base and social superstructure determine each other equally.
