Abstract
There seems to be a breaking point in semi-colonial situations where unemployed or underemployed poor outnumber the employed so much that new conditions for class struggle come into existence. Distribution of goods and services becomes such an acute problem that issues of exploitation per se take second place to issues of survival or reproduction. The crisis in the family and community reaches a point of no return. Those who are excluded from regular wage work play an increasingly important role in defining political agendas, paving the way for the revolutionary transformation of daily life, not only in the production of goods and services, but also in the relations among women, men, and children in their communities.
