from a Verso Blog piece which y9ou can find if interested. This paragraph
struck me as obliquely, ambiguously, needing unfolding with the text, as
an 'explanation' of some Pynchon themes, sorta, in Against the Day, full of
time slips and 'all about labour'.etc....

"Revolutionaries have proposed the breakage with capitalist time, the
abstract homogenous time of commodity production and the measurement of all
by labour, in favour of revolutionary time, which might be defined as David
Roediger  <http://www.versobooks.com/authors/323-david-r-roediger>does, as
‘a cyclical time of liberation, of abolition, and of mechanisms of
redress.’ In more Blochian terms, this time redeemed is one that is
immanent but not yet revealed, it is the time of not yet.
