The Philosophy of Karl Marx when it comes to alienated labor and his view with regards to communism.

4. The Alienation of Labor in the Historical process throughout the course of history, however, private property was introduced and this resulted to the gradual alienation of labor from man. Marx believes that this alienation culminates today in this era of capitalism.

5. ALIENATION: Is a situation in which man has lost himself, that is, it has estranged himself itself from his own humanity for the benefit of aggregate external forces which disposes him of his concrete humanity.

6. Thus, the alienated is a man has ceased to be recognized or to recognize himself as a free being, creator, actor of his history, master of natural forces, transformer of the world. He is encased in the aggregate of mechanical gearing in which he finds himself dehumanized, depersonalized.

7. Marx’s Theory of Historical epoch: A.) Primitive Society Is likewise termed as primitive communism since there is no private property because the whole earth belongs to everyone. Furthermore, neither is there masters nor slaves in this original state of nature. In short, man in this era owns himself and his labor.

8. B. Slave-labor Society: Is divided into lords or freemen and slaves, and which is characterized of ancient Greece and Rome, private property is introduced. Here, the freemen will not just own the work tool but also the slaves who operate such tools. This is the first stage of the alienation of labor, that is, on the part of the slaves who are and whose works are subjected to the wishes of their masters.

9. C. Serf-Labor or Feudal Society: Is basically an agricultural society and which is divided between the serf or the peasants and the feudal lords. In this society, the serf work for the feudal lords but remain something for themselves and do not belong as persons to the lord.

10. D. Hired-Labor or Capitalistic society: Is divided between two classes: The capitalists or the bourgeoisie and the paid worker or the proletariat. On the one hand, honorship is relegated to the few, that is, the bourgeoisie. Having owned the means of production such as factories and machineries,

11. They do not only lean solidly or their security upon the capital which its factories represent but also augment constantly its capital with the benefits obtained from the exploitations of its factories. On the other hand, the proletariat are radically excluded from all participation on the ownership of the instruments of production…

12. And for that reason, deprived the guarantee, obtained their subsistence solely from the salary which the capitalist pay him in exchange for the power of his labor. This economic arrangement, then, necessarily leads to the alienation of the worker.
