"For instance, Capital’s first chapter, an intricately layered criticism of efforts to theorize commodity society at its most abstract level, leads Marx to discuss the possibility of rational production: a society of associated producers. Here, there’s a sense of a positive vision that exists within and emerges from criticism. Marx can only make these types of pronouncements if he possesses a positive conception of what social life could be if developed from the potentials inherent in the way people live, socially cooperate, and so on—the negative must come with the positive."
