Capital’s self-expansion is limitless because valorization occurs only in ceaseless movement

Evidence

The simple circulation of commodities—selling in order to buy—is a means to a final goal which lies outside circulation, namely the appropriation of use-values, the satisfaction of needs. As against this, the circulation of money as capital is an end in itself, for the valorization of value takes place only within this constantly renewed movement. The movement of capital is therefore limitless. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 56

• DEFINE: Marx’s own distinction between selling-to-buy and money-as-end anchors the reading of immediacy as capitalism’s perpetual-motion cause.
