Production is not possible without relations of production — humans cannot produce outside of a social structure, whether a nation or a family — relations of production exist for all producers.
When the means of production become public property, then all people are able to exercise their freedom in relation to the productive forces through the social and political structures of society.

 Ernest Mandel: Karl Marx (Chap.2)
Relations of production are the sum total of social relations which human beings establish among themselves in the production of their material lives.
It is a struggle for the division of the social product between the direct producers (the productive, exploited class) and those who appropriate what Marx calls the social surplus product, the residuum of the social product once the producers and their offspring are fed (in the large sense of the word; i.e.
Once the productive forces are developed far enough to guarantee all human beings satisfaction of their basic needs by ‘productive labour’ limited to a minor fraction of lifetime (the half work-day or less), then the material need of the division of society in classes disappears.

Although it is possible mentally to break up the totality of the social production and reproduction process into its various manifestations in the political, legal, and ideational spheres of social practice, these aspects cannot be concretely isolated and weighted with respect to their importance within the social system as a whole.
Social relations became in increasing measure capital-labor relations and it was this fact that, by its generalization, expressed the growing social powers of production and the emergence of a new class accumulating surplus labor as surplus value and capital.
History is clearly the history of social changes of modes of production and class relations, which have led to capitalist society, the subject matter of Marx's concerns and those of the class at whose expense it exists.

Social relations here are social relations of production and are captured by the spread between productivity and wage rate, that is the profit per hour.
The primary role of social relations of production in Marx leads to the interpretation of economic categories that arise from everyday practice and their integration in economic theory, not as wrong categories, but as fetishised representations of these social relations of production.
It is clear that the higher is the spread between labour productivity and wage rate, that is the higher is the profit per hour worked, the lower is the social multiplier, as in the traditional case, the higher the propensity to save the lower is the fiscal multiplier.

The relation of the producers to the sum total of their own labour is presented to them as a social relation of objects which exists outside them....
the social relations between individuals in the performance of their labour, appear at all events as their own mutual personal relations, and are not disguised under the shape of social relations between the products of labour.
The ancient social organisms of production are extraordinarily much more simple and transparent than the bourgeois organism, but they are based either on the immaturity of the individual man who has not yet torn himself from the umbilicus of the natural species-connection with the other men or based upon an immediate master-slave relationship.

What is most central to the "exploitative relation" is not whether or not one privately owns the means of production and, therefore, has command over the labor-power of others rather, it is whether or not one consumes the products of other peoples labor or produces for their consumption.
The conditions of production, both the forces of production and the relations in which they are organized, therefore, determine both the historical development of need themselves and the way in which they are fulfilled.
The conditions of possibility for freedom for women, including in their emotional and sexual relations, are in dialectical relation to class and economic necessity—that is, to the material conditions within which their society produces its needs and their position within the social relations of production and division of labor.

 Marxism and Philosophy by Karl Korsch (1923)
But they did not mean by this that scientific socialism or communism were primarily ‘philosophies’.They rather saw the task of their ‘scientific socialism’ as that of definitively overcoming and superseding the form and content, not only of all previous bourgeois idealist philosophy, but thereby of philosophy altogether.
Intellectual fife should be conceived in union with social and political life, and social being and becoming (in the widest sense, as economics, politics or law) should be studied in union with social consciousness in its many different manifestations, as a real yet also ideal (or ‘ideological’) component of the historical process in general.
Its consequence is that the material relations of production of the capitalist epoch only are what they are in combination with the forms in which they are reflected in the pre-scientific and bourgeois-scientific consciousness of the period; and they could not subsist in reality without these forms of consciousness.

Furthermore, in connecting economic, social and spatial processes, Massey's spatial divisions of labour provide a powerful conceptual basis for arguing that the social relations of production are not a spatial.
The importance of a locality in reproducing the social relations of production is not aligned to its location per se, as much as its existence as a setting for capitalist development.
Therefore, when linking gender, employment and production in discussions of differential reproduction over space greater attention needs to be given to the role of locality in the articulation, juxtaposition and intersection of multiple and gendered social relations.

 ePrintsUQ - Grey Collar Journalism: The Social Relations of News Production
The purpose of my Doctoral thesis - Grey Collar Journalism: The social relations of news production - is to analyse the role of journalists as public intellectuals (Louw 2001) and to do so from an understanding of newswork as a labour process.
The labour theory of journalism is then employed in a study of Australian political journalism to identify the social forces that create the conditions in which grey collar journalists operate.
These are defined and analysed as the economic, class, cultural, political, historical and social relations of production that underpin the contradictory and ambivalent "emotional attitudes" (Orwell 1988, p.9) of newsworkers.

 Material Progress and Ethics: A Pilgrimage Though Time
The process of biological adaptation was, in the human being, overshadowed by conscious adaptation of the social forces of production.

 Wright: Class Structure
"the extent to which political and ideological relations enter into the determination of class position is itself determined by the degree to which those positions occupy a contradictory location at the level of social relations of production.
The more contradictory is a position within social relations of production, the more political and ideological relations can influence its objective position within class relations.
The more a position coincides with the basic antagonistic class relations at the level of social relations of production, the less weight political and ideological forces can have in determining its class position"
