It is clear today that the emancipation of labour from capitalist
alienation and exploitation is a task that still confronts us. Marx’s
concept of the worker is not limited to European white males, but
includes Irish and Black super-exploited and therefore doubly
revolutionary workers, as well as women of all races and nations. But,
his research and his concept of revolution go further, incorporating a
wide range of agrarian non-capitalist societies of his time, from India
to Russia and from Algeria to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas,
often emphasising their gender relations. In his last, still partially
unpublished writings, he turns his gaze Eastward and Southward. In these
regions outside Western Europe, he finds important revolutionary
possibilities among peasants and their ancient communistic social
structures, even as these are being undermined by their formal
subsumption under the rule of capital. In his last published text, he
envisions an alliance between these non-working-class strata and the
Western European working class.
