When you commodify all the people’s wants and needs, you commodify the people.

If we are being technical, people were already commodified with the origin of Capitalism. Capitalism requires Labor-Power to be bought and sold as a commodity on the open market, that's where surplus value extraction comes from.

Or, to look at it the other way round:

When you commodify people, you will commodify all their wants and needs.
