Abstract: Das Kapital is not only a political economic masterpiece but also writing on livelihood politics. It critically analyzes the laborer’s survival predicament and its political roots in the society under fetishist ideology with the absence of security system, the abstract exchange law of free marketing and equal exchange, and the abstract liberal democratic system. At the same time, it points out effective ways in establishing humanity-fundamental values of the political livelihoods and perfecting the people’s livelihood system to improve the interest and ensure the dominant role of labors.

Key words: Marx, Das Kapital, laborers, people’s livelihood politics
