The time of production—commodified time—is an infinite accumulation of equivalent intervals. It is irreversible time made abstract, in which each segment need only demonstrate by the clock its purely quantitative equality with all the others. It has no reality apart from its exchangeability. Under the social reign of commodified time, “time is everything, man is nothing; he is at most the carcass of time” (The Poverty of Philosophy). This devalued time is the complete opposite of time as “terrain of human development.”

Marx was a bad naturalist because he...subscribed to the Égalité Fallacy, which is abhorrent to nature.  Human beings are no more equal in their merits and abilities than they are equal in face and stature.  You might just as well insist that all the people in the world should wear the same size of boot.
