on the nature of wage labour, see Jairus Banaji and those influenced by him. Can't respond now in detail; but I expect that the mighty fury of Proyect will soon be unleashed on you. MH distinguishes between capitalist society and cap mode of production and says that the latter is only part of the former, but does say that the latter depends on formally free wage labor. This is in fact generally true in that cap mod of production does tend to generalize formally free labor just as (and this tends to be underemphasized in sociology and economics) it tends to juridically de-collective or individualize it by way of anti-union and anti-socialist law. Man is a bourgeois ideology. But as Banaji shows Marx recognizes in Capital the importance of formally unfree labor to the capitalist mode of production. E.g. child labor and slave labor. And Banaji argues, many forms of disguised wage labor.
