The crisis of command over labor has increasingly driven states within the imperial core toward deeper dependence on Musk with access to infrastructure necessary to maintain state sovereignty, but this increasingly corrodes state legitimacy, accentuating the social crisis it is attempting to resolve
In this sense, the turn to contracting during the early phase of neoliberalism must be understood as capital's attempt to re-capture social labor within the firm. But such efforts only intensified worker mobility and fragmentation, deepening the crisis of command over labor
Whereas many marxist/heterodox accounts situate capital as proactive and labor reactive, my account stresses that we cannot understand capital's development unless we do so on the terms of labor's own struggles and victories that triggered the crisis of Fordist accumulation in the mid-20th century
Within the context of labor's global fragmentation, we gain a better understanding of Muskism as a *competing* class strategy alongside finance, dispersed production, and the tech right: all of which propose distinct (but very much interdependent) solutions to labor's ungovernability
