The passage has attracted attention as seeming to register a dismal perception by Marx of the productive labour that will be necessary even under communism. "Dismal perception” is G. A. Cohen's verdict in his lucid essay "Marx's Dialectic of Labour”. Cohen has now softened the charge to "a somewhat gloomy perception”. But he continues to hold that the passage reveals Marx viewing even post-capitalist labour "as bound always to be unsatisfying”, a marked shift from Marx's optimistic 1840s view that under communism labour would be unalienating. The debate has recently been joined by James Klagge, who has argued against Cohen (and others) that the volume three passage does not disclose a shift in view, and so does not register a "deep pessimism” or "negative appraisal” by Marx of post-capitalist labour.
