Bts, I generally don’t get Deleuze and I don’t know what you mean: does the worker breaking down mean workers not doing what they should from the capitalist perspective or does it mean the break down of workers bodies from the workers point of view? My point in this post is the latter - to a large degree the capitalist use of the purchased commodity labor power is the destruction of the body that houses labor power, of the worker (sometimes this destruction is gradual, in other cases it’s quite rapid).

“Like Caliban, the proletariat personified the “ill humours” that hid in the social body, beginning with the disgusting monsters of idleness and drunkenness. In the eyes of his masters, its life was pure inertia, but at the same time was uncontrolled passion and unbridled fantasy, ever ready to explode in riotous commotion. Above all it was indiscipline, lack of productivity, incontinence, lust for immediate physical satisfaction; its utopia being not a life of labour, but the land of Cockaigne, where houses were made of sugar, rivers of milk, and where not only could one obtain what one wished without effort, but one was paid to eat and drink:

To sleep one hour
of deep sleep
without waking
one earns six francs;
and to drink well
one earns a pistol;
this country is jolly,
one earns ten franks a day
to make love.”
- Silvia Federici, Caliban and the Witch
