At the same time, we are capital, and something distinct from it. We inevitably merge with it even as we struggle to distinguish what makes us uniquely human. In my view we must resist both the fantasy of control and the fantasy of oneness, recognizing that we are always already divided and alienated, and this is not a reason to embrace the fantasy of its overcoming (communism) but in a Hegelian/Zizekian negation of negation, recognition that the situation is the condition of possibility of new stages of potential for humanity. As well as the necessity of recognizing the challenges we will face and transformation of our material conditions. Communism as utopia must be discarded, instead we have the problem of the commons, which it would be utopian to not address
