Dependence (n.) of ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the worker on capital, in good times, grows not more intensive but more extensive — capital's domination merely spreads to more people.

Dependence (n.) has ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠to be felt as well as real: the colonial wage-labourer, once the dependence relation is gone, loses too the sense of leaning on the abstemious capitalist.

Dependence (n.) of ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the poor on the rich begins with this: everyone must eat before he produces, so the poor man must agree that labour yet to be done is worth more than labour already done.

Dependence (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not abolished by the market but generalized: objective dependence is just social relations grown independent and turned against seemingly free individuals.

Dependence (n.) that ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠is personal, for all its darkness, needs no fetish: where serf and lord face each other directly, labour need not take a fantastic form, and social relations appear as personal relations, not disguised as relations between things.

Dependence (n.) on ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠persons is history's first social form; independence built on dependence on things is the second; free individuality, mastering its own social wealth, is the third.
