Material and social reproduction occur simultaneously and inseparably

Evidence

It was, in this sense, that “experience” was conceived, not as an authenticating source but as an effect: not as a reflection of the real but as an “imaginary relation.” It was only a short step—the one which separates For Marx from Althusser’s “Ideological State Apparatuses”—to the development of an account of how this “imaginary relation” served, not simply the dominance of a ruling class over a dominated one, but (through the reproduction of the relations of production, and the constitution of labor-power in a form fit for capitalist exploitation) the expanded reproduction of the mode of production itself. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 195 (#expands, via linked claim)
