The author argues that the terror of the economy, which sees the progress of capitalist development as inevitable, creates one kind of totality. Orthodox Marxism attempted to abolish this totality – the ne-gation of freedom – by replacing it with another totality. The approaches of autonomous Marxism, on the other hand, sought to negate the totality itself, i.e. to combine liberation from the totality with the construction of a different society. This text shows that freedom can only really exist in the de-totalisation and the creation of a world in which there is room for many worlds.
