It's an old joke that the only think that is worse in capitalist society
than being exploited is not being exploited. But I think there is a lot of
political dynamite in the charge that exploitation is going on, that the
capitalists take what workers produce and give nothing in return. Marx
thought so too, or he wouldn't have made the point at such length.

This is important too, although workers also knwo that they lack job
security. Anyway, as Brenner shows, you can also restate Marxian crisis
theory without value talk.
