How far the individual succeeds in claiming the progressive moment of illness for himself depends greatly on the economic situation and the social position of the individual. Whoever was privileged in such as way that he had the possibility to work off symptoms by means of capitalist consumer goods (tourism, parties, etc.), or for whom a social position permitted health at the expense of others, for him the agitation ended with a “healing” in the bourgeois sense. He’s satisfied that the most disturbing symptoms are gone, otherwise he claims the reactionary side of illness (suppression of protest as an organized form of violence against others and therefore also against oneself), and separates as a “free” person from the SPK. He was “healthy” and so stood objectively on the side of capital.
