Marx on Capitalism
There is a rather vile relationship between the wealth workers produce and the workers in question. Due to the level of commoditization of the workers and their ability to offer labor, they are not as happy as they would wish or as the system would like to indicate.

It is through the element of commoditization, that the workers are alienated from their social lives . Much of their lives revolve around working in the industries from one day to the next and they end up being tied to a system that is not productive for them.

It is interesting to note that the explanation of capitalism by Marx is very correct. The element of invisible forces being behind capitalism is a hoax and one that create an atmosphere of mystery. However, the best way to understand capitalism is to understand the element of power and the interaction between the humans. There are those humans that take advantage of others in the name of creating opportunities. These are the few individuals that bene...
