as Marx wrote:

'Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only
lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more
labour it sucks.' (Capital 1, p. 233, Intl Pub)

and

'Capital posits the permanence of value by incarnating itself
in fleeting commodities and taking on their form ...But
capital obtains this ability only by constantly sucking in
living labour as its soul, vampire-like.' (Grundrisse, p. 646,
Vintage)
