Human relationality is never governed by the logic of love when it is compatible with master-slave relations. Moreover, all systems of ownership and possession of other human beings–from slavery to patriarchy to capitalism–are irreducibly antagonistic to love. Love is an opposite logic to the various logics of possession and private property, and can be understood and enacted as an antidote to privatization, isolation, and frailty.
