Imagine: A young 20-something is serving as a surrogate mother for a dying alien race following a chance abduction. For the past nine months, she has been carrying an intelligent alien lifeform that can communicate with her telepathically. When the day comes, she begins to feel contractions but is informed that active labor can only be triggered by one thing: semen. To give birth, she must go out on the town and find a man who can help her out of this situation...
...the system of exchange values […] reveals as its hidden background, the appropriation of alien labour without exchange, complete separation of labour and property. For the domination of exchange value itself, and of exchange-value-producing production, presupposes alien labour capacity itself as an exchange value -- i.e. the separation of living labour capacity from its objective conditions; a relation to them -- or to its own objectivity -- as alien property; a relation to them, in a word, as capital.
Marx, Grundrisse, Notebook V: 22 January-Beginning of February 1858; The Chapter on Capital (continued), p. 509-10
