Marx on Alienation

"Marx saw the workers as alienated from the product of his labor and from work itself because, since the product belongs to the capitalist, his work is 'forced labor' not his own, but someone else's."(Nahem, 11)

I find this a successful picture in depicting Marx's alienation theory; workers from less economically developed countries (LEDC) are working long hours, to produce products that they cannot afford to buy. These products are shipped to a different country (MEDC), then the citizens purchase these products.

  1. This picture, is a good example to explain Marx's alienation theory but unfortunately it is life and we can't stop it.
