In this society, all human relationships transcending immediate encounter are not relations of happiness: especially not relations in the labor process, which is regulated with regard not to the needs and capacities of individuals but rather to profit on capital and the production of commodities. Human relations are class relations, and their typical form is the free labor contract. This contractual character of human relationships has spread from the sphere of production to all social life. Relationships function only in their reified form, mediated through the class distribution of production to all social life.

—Herbert Marcuse, “On Hedonism”
