The main aim of this text is to reconstruct an ontic (and therefore ontological) theory of the event qua value-theory. For this attempt, I base my arguments on a re-reading of Capital. The "events" posited in thisre-theorization of Capital are "translated/transferred" into three commencements from which logical descriptions of capital in Capital appear to start respectively yet interrelatedly. As a theoretical procedure, I disarticulate a single theoretical commencement of Capital – i.e. a commodity – into three commencements (-qua-events), and decipher their inter-relations. The first commencement/event is, as is usual with the currently ordinary understanding of Capital, the commodity posited at its very outset, which turns out to be a capitalist commodity in the course of my elucidation in this text. The second is the so-called originary accumulation ofcapital which has been and still is regarded as a historical origin/invention of capital-ism but is retrospectively crossed out from and for the first commencement that regards itself as solely legitimate: violent expropriation. The third is the exchange (process), which is incorporated into the first as the peaceful contractual transactionamong so-called equal "owners," which is usually called exploitation. In so doing, I try to de-logicalize the purely logical descriptions of Capital upon which capital arrogates its logicality and circularity to itself, while at the same time avoiding a simple and naïve historicization of Capital. In this way, I try to ontologize thesecond and third commencements-qua-events as ontic agents in order to subvert the commandment of capital based on the first commodity.
