Why does Marx say suffering through productive reproduction is a form of self-enjoyment?

Marx on desire
What exists is not lack, but passion. Natural and sensual object. Desire is not bolstered by needs but on the contrary; needs are derived from desire: they are counter products.
Why can’t Marxist philosophy allow itself to introduce the notion of scarcity as its initial premise?
Such a scarcity antedating exploitation makes of the law of supply and demand a reality that will remain forever independent, since it is situated at a primordial level. Hence it is no longer a question of including or deducing this law within Marxism, since it is immediately evident at a prior stage, at a lever from which Marxism itself derives. Being a rigorous thinker Marc refuses to employ the notion of scarcity and is quite correct to do so for this category would be his undoing.

He denied God to posit the existence of man, to put man in Gods place. But the person who knows that the place of man is entirely elsewhere does not even allow the possibility of a question to subsist concerning “an alien being, a being placed above man and nature” he no longer needs the mediation of myth to go by the way of this mediation,-the negation of the existence of God
What are the qualitative factors in the desiring-economy that makes an obstacle to treatment?
The first is “the rock” of castration, which creates an incurable alveolus
