Is wage labour about to disappear? Are not pre-industrial land-owners still  fiercely battling capitalism's encroachements? And if the new, upcoming, ruling class certainly holds most capital owners in its dependency, has it developed its new way of organizing production to the extent that it could reduce capital accumulation to insignificance? Capitalism is ruining many people's lives (and so, for hundreds of millions, are pre-capitalist land owners), but it is still the driving force of most material production, without which, of course, we would cease to debate.
