Alienation in a capitalist system

  • Alienation from oneself (over-specialization
    alienates the workers from developing their full human potential)
  • Alienation from fellow workers (the system alienates the
    workers from their fellow workers to suppress unionism)
  • Alienation from the product (due to the division of labor,
    the worker can't claim to have produced the goods in its entirety;
    because of low salary, the workers cannot buy
    the product which they themselves produced
