Marx's discussion on the estrangement of the worker and his labor. Sinking the worker to the level of a commodity.
What do you think about the assumption that
"Labor produces not only commodities: it produces itself and the worker as a commodity."
"As a result, therefore, man (the worker) no longer feels himself to be freely active in any but his animal functions—eating, drinking, procreating, or at most in his dwelling and in dressing-up, etc.; and in his human functions he no longer feels himself to be anything but an animal. What is animal becomes human and what is human becomes animal."
