Those effects are not produced by the concepts of the forms, they are represented by them. The two concepts do not designate entities 'relations' and 'forces', one of which hegemonises the other; rather they are used to generate concepts of social relations, labour process, class struggles, etc. In those concepts, relations and forces are combined. To a considerable extent this chapter does meet the conditions of the separation of the order of development of concepts in discourse from those of the order of connection of the social relations specified in terms of those concepts - although there remains a tendency to derive class 'interests' directly from the concept of the relation of agents to the labour process.
Why was a 'back door' needed at all? The answer is a simple one: the criticism of Balibar's project took a form which rendered any 'general theory' of modes of production impossible. The general theory, in which modes were formed by the differential combination of elements, appeared to make possible the generation of concepts of specific modes of production directly from the basic concepts of the theory of modes of production. Hence Alain Badiou was by no means inaccurate when he used a metaphor from mathematical formalisation, conceiving modes as 'sets' formed by the combination of the elementary categories and the general theory as the matrix 'set' of all the 'sets' possible within it.
