The commodity form reduces everything to quantitative equivalence.
Guy Debord, La société du spectacle §38

The abundance of commodities—that is, the abundance of commodity relations—amounts to nothing more than an augmented survival.
Guy Debord, La société du spectacle §40

The spectacle is the stage at which the commodity has succeeded in totally occupying social life. Commodification is not only visible, we no longer see anything else; the world we see is the world of the commodity.
Guy Debord, La société du spectacle §42

Each individual commodity fights for itself. It avoids acknowledging the others and strives to impose itself everywhere as if it were the only one in existence.
Guy Debord, La société du spectacle §66
