Fetishism is thus an ideological inversion of a real inversion. In capitalist society, relations between people take the form of relations between things. This does not mean that they stop being relations between people; it means that social relations are mediated by relations among things. This is not an ideological phenomenon, but a practical inversion which constitutes the basis upon which the ideological inversion of fetishism arises – the ‘becoming-invisible of mediations’, as Gerhard Hanloser and Karl Reitter call it.
