       "The explanation for this is to be found in the domestication of humanity, which comes about when capital constitutes itself as a human community. The process starts out with the fragmentation and destruction of human beings, who are then restructured in the image of capital; people are turned into capitalist beings, and the final outcome is that capital is anthropomorphised.[...]Underlying all this is a profoundly important phenomenon: all human life, from the very beginning of its development within capitalist society, has undergone an impoverishment. More than this, capitalist society is death organized with all the appearances of life. Here it is not a question of death as the extinction of life, but death-in-life, death with all the substance and power of life. The human being is dead and is no more than a ritual of capital."'So for Camatte, it's less turning people into capital as much as dispossessing them and making them reliant on capital, shaping them into capitalist beings.''it's basically unintentional Stockholm Syndrome, we unintentionally absorb the values of this dominant culture and start becoming mirror images of Capital.with cybernetics' ongoing attempts at "cyborgizing" all aspects of human beings (metaphorically speaking), this has only intensified.what we're witnessing right now is the first genuine attempts at transitioning "Homo economicus" into "Homo cyborgi", a colonization of the human being right down to the still-opaque unknowns of our imaginations, thoughts, desires.'also helpful is the  Bellamy Fitzpatrick's description of the process of dispossession and self-alienation (see attached)
