What Is the Wrong of Capitalism? A Reply to Chiara Cordelli
Abstract
Chiara Cordelli has recently criticized radical republicans for failing to ground a domination-based anti-capitalism. Cordelli argues that radical republicans “cannot prove either that domination under capitalism is less contingent than other wrongs, that capitalism’s distinctive wrong amounts to domination, or that such domination is unjust.” This article responds to Cordelli’s objections. I argue that Cordelli’s emphasis on capitalization does not threaten the non-contingency of capitalist domination; that capitalism’s distinctive wrong is domination and not alienation, and that this wrong is structural all the way down. Cordelli is right that capitalism involves alienation of our future to the vagaries of profit-maximization. But alienation is only a moment in capitalism’s fundamental wrong and ill—the domination of labor by capital.

资本主义的错在何处？——对基娅拉·科尔代利的回应
摘要
基娅拉·科尔代利近期批评激进共和主义者未能为一种以支配为基础的反资本主义提供根据。科尔代利主张，激进共和主义者“既不能证明资本主义下的支配比其他错误更少具有偶然性，也不能证明资本主义的独特错误就是支配，更不能证明这种支配是不正义的”。本文回应科尔代利的反对意见。我认为，科尔代利对资本化的强调并不威胁资本主义支配的非偶然性；资本主义的独特错误是支配而非异化，并且这种错误自始至终都是结构性的。科尔代利正确地指出，资本主义涉及将我们的未来异化于利润最大化的反复无常。但异化只是资本主义根本错误与弊病——资本对劳动的支配——中的一个环节。
