On production and how, "as Schumpeter argued," "the dominion of capitalism need not require only new physical areas, but can extend to new ways to organize production, new products, and our leisure time" -- Kojin Karatani in Transcritique has a great reading of Capital that shows "relative surplus value" is the driving force that typifies capitalism and its drive to constantly improve production, which can take the form of expansion into new underdeveloped regions and labor markets, but more typically takes the form of, as you say, "invasion" into new temporal spaces, when the price of commodities or productivity of labor is changed through technological advancement, generating a "relative" surplus that can be distributed among the (international, interlinked) owners of capital. He's also an atypical Marxist in that he centers exchange more than production, but he's very persuasive -- after all, for surplus value to be "realized" and generate profit for anyone, the M-C-M' circuit has to be traversed first by selling commodities.
Karatani also emphasizes the importance of colonialism and globalization - since as he sees it, Marxian "value" only arises through an exchange between two separate systems - and I really appreciate that about the argument here, as well. Also love the definition of actually-existing Socialism as the tool to introduce indigenous capitalism / aka revolutionize production. Seems very persuasive
