Exploitation is still an essential analytical category to understand capitalism and its most recent transformations. However, the same concept should be profoundly reconsidered and updated. In this article the author attempts, in this regard, to contaminate the Marxian theoretical perspective on the exploitation with Deleuze and Guattari’s analysis, as they proposed in their works about capitalism and schizophrenia. In particular, what is being argued is the necessity of reading the exploitation in the contemporary capitalism according to a operative double logic: on the one hand a dialectic logic based on the subsumption of labour to capital (but less and less relevant), on the other a axiomatic logic based on the impression of the subjectivity to capital (instead increasingly relevant). The functional relationships between these two different logics of capitalism have to be continually mended and integrated together and, just for this reason, they are, eventually, here identified as the space of fragility of the contemporary capitalist system.
