…sabotage is a reflex of the individual: he submits to it, as to a passion. Although the individual must sell his labor power, he goes “mad,” i.e., irrational compared to what is “rational” (selling one’s labor power and working accordingly). This “madness” consists of the refusal to give up the labor power, to be a commodity. The individual hates himself as an alienated creature split into two; he tries, through destruction, through violence, to reunify his being, which only exists through capital.
…Destructive acts are part of an attempt to destroy the mediation of wage labour as the only form of social community. In the silence of the proletariat, sabotage appears as the first stammer of human speech.
