This is the full text of the English translation of “The Enemy of Capitalism” by Jeong Ji A, along with the accompanying illustration, published in the Bookmark section of KLN Vol. 60. The first-person protagonist feels ambivalent as she observes the life of Hyeonnam, who lacks proactive desires to do or want something. But eventually, she comes to the realization that in the capitalist society where desires are endlessly affirmed, someone like Hyeonnam may be the true enemy of capitalism.

KLN 60호 북마크 정지아 작가의 <자본주의의 적> 영문 번역 전문과 관련 일러스트다. 주인공 ”나“는 무엇을 하거나 얻고자 하는 적극적인 욕망이 부재하는 인물 ”현남“의 생을 지켜보며 양가적인 감정을 느끼지만, 욕망이 무한정 긍정되는 자본주의 사회에서 현남과 같은 인물이야말로 진정한 자본주의의 적일 수 있다는 깨달음에 이른다.
