Karl Marx on Alienation
Вставка

- Karl Marx believed that work, at its best, is what makes us human. It allows us to live, be creative and flourish. But under capitalism he saw workers alienated from each other and the product of their labour.
Narrated by Gillian Anderson. Scripted by Nigel Warburton.

Very strange how this video always talks in the past tense. News flash, alienation is still around in full-force in capitalism today! It is a part *of* capitalism.
^^^^^^^
totally agreed,
alienation and exploitation are parts of capitalism tighten together like flesh and bones and impossible to separate from each other, only its forms are changing from time to time due to new circumstances
+Cipi SixZeroFour . I'm not a Marxist, but you characterizations here are clearly untrue for both capitalism and Marxism. You don't just work "if you want to" under capitalism. Necessity compels working for an income, and that necessity is backed up by the rules of the system, not simply natural inevitability. All systems are likely to require people working in jobs they don't love to death, one way or another. Most people under capitalism hate their jobs. This is hardly "choosing the job you want", except in the most minimal sense of not being forced to work as job at the end of a gun, which is a shoddy conception of freedom. There are many other forms of structural compulsion within capitalism that prevent people doing to jobs they want to do, and compel them to stay in jobs they hate. Also, the idea that people must work particular jobs at the direction of the state, without options, is not endemic to Marxism. Even in the Communist Manifesto, Marx says the exact opposite. The authoritarianism of 20th century officially socialist states were hardly representative of the entire tradition of Marxist thought, and some of their largest detractors have been Marxists.
Justin Mueller I have already lived under Communism. Capitalism beats Communism every time. No contest. The shittiest jobs are under Communism not under Capitalism. Under Capitalism you have what job you want, under Communism your job is what the Communist party wants for you. Only in Capitalism you get to choose since only unde Capitalism you're free. And under Capitalism work is not mandatory since you have the welfare state or you can inherit your parents business.
Cipi SixZeroFour Where did you live in?
I love how they put everything in here in past tense as if this isn't the present reality. Because that would mean admitting that this current world is a hellscape and that powerful people need to be put in their place. But god forbid BBC, an established and very wealthy organization supported by both taxpayers and corporations, would want to do that.
100% spot on

There's no such thing as a 100% trustworthy source
This only goes over Marx and his observations during his lifetime, whether this operates similarly today doesn't necessarily matter in an very brief historical presentation. Everything doesn't have to be Doomer propaganda ;)
For an another look at Marxism, capitalism, consumerist society and it's progression I recommend The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord. It was written in 1967 but it still has applicable concepts today.

I do realise the population of today is much higher, but even still, do you realise just how many people are dying every year due to 'structural violence'?
***** Firstly, quoting Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."
I would love to see some statistical evidence to back up your claim that less people are starving today than ever before in history.
Finally, you clearly don't understand the concept of Structural Violence. The actions of individuals and groups against others in this world may be a symptom of structural violence, but that is not what structural violence is, in and of itself.

@@MasonDeanSteinerRedScare -- You're the flukeman, aren't you?
I like how Gillian Anderson narrates this video 👍🏼❤️ Here is the quote from Marx on alienation, from Das Kapital: "The fact that labour is external to the worker, i e, it does not belong to his essential being; that in his work, therefore, he does not affirm himself but denies himself, does not feel content but unhappy, does not develop freely his physical and mental energy but mortifies his body and ruins his mind. The worker therefore only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself. He is at home when he is not working, and when he is working he is not at home. His labour is therefore not voluntary, but coerced; it's forced labour. It is therefore not the satisfaction of a need; it is merely a means to satisfy needs external to it".
Nice! Thanks Comrade!
Yes, the eloquent perfection of equity always attracts crapitalism and imperialism's apologists and lackeys.
More true today than ever
Its not from das kapital, it's from the 1844 manuscripts, I read it in german but im pretty Sure that its from there. The part when he talked about alientation Was just perfect
Great examination of capitalism. Tying this to modern society is important. Alienation is everywhere today!
Alienation is defined as alienated labor. In Karl Marx's Manuscripts, alienated labor refers to forced and involuntary labor in which the worker finds no purpose, no joy or happiness, no fulfillment of necessities, no independence or power, no mental or physical development. A person in this situation feels lonely, embarrassed, worthless, and unimportant. It is someone else's operation, it is not random, and it is merely a means of providing the bodily necessities of life. In the political economy, it is purely a wage-earning profession. According to Marx, there are four forms of alienation associated with the capitalist method of production: alienation of the worker from the products of his labor.
But how is a worker (employers can be workers too) actually 'alienated' from the products of their labor?
@@lochnessmunster1189I think some of their stuff or services can't be bought unless you've got a ton of money. Like, let's say you build a car at the factory, but you're broke and can't afford to buy it. In a capitalist society, public transportation isn't really a thing.
@@Kuonlin It is in many countries, the lack of public transportation is not an aspect of capitalist society.
There is a saying "don't take it personal". I could care less if I could not afford the services or labour I was providing. It's all ego and status. If I could figure out a way to sell it make shit for wealthy people to throw their money at then that is slightly satisfactory, even humorous.
Unfortunately this video dresses up Marx's Theory of Alienation, not as a general theory applicable even to modern Capitalism today, but as some specific and so simple as to apply to only 19th Century Manufacturing...
I also don't think anyone really cares for the pot shots at Brand.
Ulezim do you think factory manufacturing isn't still happening today? where you do think all these mass produced goods are coming from? this is a problem if consumers don't want to acknowledge/aren't aware where their clothes and shoes and whatever else are coming from
maws francis I'm not sure that's what Ulezim meant. It is clearly a simple way to explain what happened then and it definitely, to me at least, shows up the problems with countries such as China now days.
Yeah being a factory worker feels like a robot. It left you feel alienated and have no time to do other things in life other than going to work,sleep,repeat. 😓.
Marx was genius. Many modern "economists" label him as idealistic and old guy who wrote big book.
But he really changed the world. Without his ideas and revolutions there would be no rights we have today.
@Reggie Cyde
Have you read any bit of Marx?
I assure you that he ain't no dummie lol, anyone who can get through,understand and transcribe Hegel isn't stupid.
You should probably read Wage Labor,the communist manifesto,or Critique of the Gotha program if you want to get into Marx's work because the rest are really long(First volume of Kapital is over 1000 pages and in depth)
@Reggie Cyde lmao for you
Chong! Jojun! Balsa! Marx was a lazy, jobless bourgeois twat that mooched off his friends and never worked a hard day in his life. He was not a genius, all his ideas FAILED LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY WERE IMPLEMENTED. Stop being politically, economically, and historically illiterate. Stop watching the BBC as well, they’re nothing more than tax payer funded Regressive Leftist propaganda that is doing nothing to benefit your already incredibly small and ill informed mind.
The rights we have today came from LIBERALISM, not Marxism, you absolute fucking dunce. The idea of Natural Rights comes from Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. Locke is known for his statement that individuals have a right to "Life, Liberty, and Property" and his belief that the natural right to property is derived from labor. This is derived from the idea of self ownership: your body is your property, and thus you are entitled to the fruits of your labour. Locke's theory of natural rights has influenced many political documents, including the United States Declaration of Independence and the French National Constituent Assembly's Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Do you know what Marx’s ideas did? They resulted in governments in the 20th Century which based themselves upon his ideas, which ended up with the deaths of over 100,000,000 people. That’s Marx’s legacy. Stop being an ignorant moron. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. Bad ideas that have never worked, DON’T WORK, and are BAD. Marx was a lazy fucking idiot with terrible ideas.
@Reggie Cyde Are you kidding? Where do you think unions came from? Workers rights? Aka things that keep you from being exploited by capitalists? Marx wrote as capitalism was beginning to flourish and take on its alienating quality in Europe, and yet Marx was able to see ahead and predict what capitalism would become. He was extraordinarily prescient. You claim such a model could never exist because of human motivation - clearly demonstrating that you have never read Marx. Our mindsets and values are influenced by capitalism because it is the dominant economic system. Primitive communism existed, as well as civilisations such as the Incan Empire which was currencyless and had equal distribution of resources - even a pension for the elderly and disabled.
*Capitalism is inherently exploitative, because workers are never fully compensated for their work.* If a business pays you 14 dollars per hour, that is because you produce more than that in value for the company. The rest of the value goes to the owners of the business as profits simply because they own the means of production. This fundamental problem is why inequality is on the rise in the wast majority of the world, even in countries like Norway and Denmark that have good labor laws and high taxes on the rich.
To combat this problem we need to fundamentally change how the economy works. One solution that would would keep all the benefits of the current marked system is to democratize the workplace. By doing away with the owner class and making every worker a shareholder of the company they work at they would get all value that they produce.
Nothing about this suggestion is theoretical. The largest worker co-opt that exist right now is the Mondragon Corporation which consists of 257 sub-companies and have over 80 thousand employees. Studies done on worker co-opts show that they are *more* productive than regular companies and offer more stable employment and have smaller difference in wages between managers and regular workers (because they vote on it). Like tuition-free college, universal healthcare and a livable minimum wage, this has already been tested in other countries and it works way better than what we have now. Why shouldn't we fight for it in the same way we fight for universal healthcare, tuition-free college and a livable minimum wage?
"Owners" are not just people who sit at a desk with their tophats as money rolls in while they do nothing. Owners are management, marketing and other important functions of a business.
@@johniacino1364 Doing managing, marketing and performing other important functions of the business is all work. It is done by workers, and those workers should be compensated for the work that they do. They should not be compensated for the work other people do, just because of ownership.
I don't think that's a difficult concept to grasp, but maybe you disagree.
The history of socialism has proven that this notion of worker-control of enterprises indeed is petty-bourgeois. It does not take into account the contradiction between the the base and superstructure, the contradiction between all of the competing enterprises nor the contradiction between labour and capital.
It ignores the contradiction between the base and superstructure in that you cannot carry out full cultural revolutions while you also have markets in place, which increases individualism and kills empathy between the people of the society. Even if the enterprises are worker-controlled, they don't all belong to all workers. One person may be a part of one enterprise, which is competing with other enterprises. Then, the employees of those enterprises will be alienated from the former. This way, it produces and reproduces some of the most bourgeois cultural elements such as individualism and distrust for your fellow human, as long as there are markets. This will eventually lead to a restoration of capitalism.
It ignores the contradiction between the competing enterprises in that it does not see that, in competition, some enterprises succeed, and others are ruined. This was a massive problem in the prime example of market-socialism: Yugoslavia. In Yugoslavia, the enterprises were in open contradiction with one another, as per market-socialism. But it is contrary to dialectics to say that contradictions merely exist, in stopped time. These contradictions in question moved back and forth, with one enterprise getting more profits than the other, and eventually, one enterprise will succeed. But to merely say this is to be dishonest. It must also be mentioned, and even emphasised, that the other enterprise is ruined. It goes bankrupt. What happens when an enterprise goes bankrupt? All of its workers become unemployed, and because the Yugoslav state was largely in the service of the Yugoslav proletariat, it attempted to prevent the destitution and suffering of proletarians that comes with unemployment. But wherefrom did it get its funds? Well, it didn't have infinite money, so it had to take loans. From the International Monetary Fund. This way, the state of Yugoslavia got into massive debts that it couldn't pay off, and with that, destitution and suffering came anyway, which was one of if the most important factors which led to its collapse. There is no way to avoid this problem without abolishing markets.
It ignores the contradiction between labour and capital in that the enterprises do need profits to grow and not be outcompeted, and to make profits, the enterprise needs to appropriate surplus value from their workers. This naturally creates a contradiction between the interests of the worker and the interests of the enterprise itself, between the labour and the capital of the enterprise. As was stated above, contradictions create movement, and in this case, that movement is the decrease and increase of wages, and the respective increase and decrease of profits. A worker under this system must choose between himself or the enterprise, between short-term success and long-term success, when deciding on the wage of the enterprise's employees together with their co-workers. The only resolution of this contradiction is the end of the existence of the enterprise, either by going bankrupt due to lack of profits or becoming a volunteer service due to there being no wages. Either way, the employees lose out, and either direction the contradiction moves that is not towards an equilibrium is a loss for the employees.
Here we have criticised market-socialism and the notion of worker-control of enterprises, with the help of the recognition of the following contradictions: the contradiction between the base and superstructure, the contradiction between the individual enterprises and the contradiction between labour and capital.
But a criticism is useless without another suggestion! What resolves the aforementioned contradictions? The first and second are resolved by the abolition of markets. The third is a more individual contradiction, and is resolved by the end of the existence of the enterprise or the end of the existence of competition between the enterprise in question and other enterprises, i.e., the abolition of markets.
These all call for the abolition of markets. Then, what would replace markets? A democratically-run centrally-planned cyber-economy! I recommend Paul Cockshott's video-lectures on it. Check them out for more information. Thanks!
You are implying that the owner who has contributed with the start up of the business, has no contribution to the final product, which is incorrect
@@cv4809 No, I'm not. I think the owner should be compensate for his work. But not for his ownership.
I use to feel like this when i worked low wage jobs. Im doing better for myself now but i still remain sympathetic to my fellow workers who are struggling more than i am and that is why as a socialist, support the building of communism.

Thank you! This really helped me write a paper for my political science class.
Marx wrote his famous manifest after a cholora, or typhus epidemic that killed, tens of thousands of Londoners. Modern medicine has attributed stress, poor diet, lonliness, and exhaustion to poor physical health. This no doubt contributed along with the squalor that people bunched up in charles dickins London lived in to that tragedy. Marx was a sensetive man who cared about others and he found purpose in challenging the bleak reality that he saw.
Apparently the youtube link for this video is marked as spam on Facebook. I can't share it there.
I am always concerned that the Idealism of this takes Alienation as a Psychological process rather than that the Alienation is material in that it is the workers own Labour that takes over and dominates in a Social sense. Many in the old CPA put emphasis on the Mental Alienation which bought them to arguing over what they called Fordism and Taylorism , this got its height in the Social democracy of Sweden that through Volvo had a less Alienating form of Production(under Capitalism) which had workers assembling a completed car.This separation into parts and promoting one part over the other is a sneaky way of taking the revolutionary aspect of Marx's theory and diverting us to a reformist world outlook under capitalism.

The solution as Marx says is for workers to obtain democratic control of companies and corporations but more importantly for people to realize that they can start democratic businesses instead of privately owned businesses. Democratic companies can go by different names such worker cooperatives or worker self directed enterprises. An economy composed of mostly worker cooperatives would be called Economic Democracy as opposed to Capitalism. Check out the book "After Capitalism" by David Schweickart.
It's also called market socialism i.e. a bunch of socialist systems (worker cooperatives) within a system with a capitalist mode of production (products produced to be sold for profit).
If one wants to try and achieve such a system without a revolution, it is required that the bourgeoisie won't intervene. That's not going so well due to ever increasing limitations in crowdfunding, as an example.
Not only this, a market socialist system, even when fully established, is not efficient in preparing against an inevitable attack from the western world. Such things require planning.
No, the solution, as Marx clearly understood, is not to own your own capitalist enterprise, but to abolish wage labor, money and market relations in a social revolution.

Was the chain breaking a reference to Zampano from La Strada?
What trips me up on marxism is there's this huge spotlight on manufacturing, as if that's the only work we have. But in modern times we have less and less factories it's at the point I can't tell you that I even know an honest to God factory worker.
I can't relate to much of this as a worker. I can to some of it but when I understand the context, it's like okay I can understand the need for violent revolution in 1840s Germany amongst coal miners and factory workers. But in 2022 that need to revolution doesent translate to let's say..... the well paid postal worker who has ALL the benefits in his benefits package, who gets holidays off and 401k. It's just not the same.
Or what about the waitress that chooses to wait tables because she knows she she hustle up more tips than her manager can make in salary? She knows medicaid will cover her medical costs. It's just not the same...
In the service and administrative economies you don't make products at all. But ur work is still important and I'd argue more fulfilling. U might not be a "craftsman" but ur taking part in the art of service. Some Marxists deride this as part of the bourgeoisie "hand and foot" service economy but I strongly disagree.
The farmer wants to see his food handled by a chef who wants to see his food served by a waitress who wants her skills commented on with tips.
Some people would say that's fulfilling. Others not so much. I notice intellectuals and academics tend to fall into the not so much category.
My point is there's this whole area of economics that is left out of marxism just because it's inconvenient. When I was pro capitalism I siezed on a lot of this, and I still do as a mutualist. This is why I am pro market even now that I have more of a marxian bent in my thinking. But I can't shake this idea that humans can find fulfillment wherever they may. It doesent have to be in building an original lproduct. ID argue that by the same concept of alienation one could say they enjoy doing work others may find tedious or repetitive. Autistic people for example find a lot of comfort in this type of work and I always found it odd that in and of itself was a symptom of autism to "look out for"
Like it's unnatural for someone to have different preferences. Don't ya think the market would've failed on its own merits, simply by being unable to find people to fill roles? Instead, even with today's worries of understaffed these roles are in great demand, more than ever before. Especially on a world scale, to the point these factories are outsourcing and its like I said I can't name an honest to God factory worker but I know they exist. By the millions, hundreds of millions perhaps.
Big techs biggest goal right now is to replace those "alienated workers" who I'm sure don't want to be replaced.
Some communists argue this is the big ticket out and into communism I disagree. I think we'll just get a bigger welfare state and more concessions from liberals.
I don't see a lot of big picture thinking here tbh with you.
"My first impression was a very strong one," repeated the prince. "When they took me away from Russia, I remember I passed through many German towns and looked out of the windows, but I didn't trouble myself to ask questions about them. This was after a long series of fits. I would always fall into a sort of torpid condition after such a series, losing my memory almost entirely. Even though I wasn't entirely without reason during these times, I lacked the logical power of thought. This would continue for three or four days, and then I would recover myself again. I remember my melancholy was intolerable; I felt inclined to cry, sat and wondered uncomfortably. The consciousness that everything was strange weighed heavily upon me; I could understand that it was all foreign and unfamiliar. I recall waking up from this state for the first time in Basle one evening; the braying of alienation woke me up, alienation in the town market. I saw the alienation and was extremely pleased with it. From that moment on, my mind seemed to clear."
"Alienation? How strange! Yet, it's not so strange. Anyone of us might fall in love with alienation! It happened in mythological times," said Madame Epanchin, casting a wrathful glance at her daughters, who had started to laugh. "Please continue, prince."
"Since that evening, I've had a special fondness for alienations. I began to ask questions about them, as I had never seen one before. I immediately came to the conclusion that this must be one of the most useful animals-strong, willing, patient, and inexpensive. Thanks to this alienation, I started to appreciate the whole country I was traveling through, and my melancholy gradually faded away."
Thanks
In 19th is the time for Capitalism domination . The labour are in poor . So they accepted the owners labour law . In that law says the working hour of labour is 12 hours . The labours divided into two shift . The first shift workers start the work at morning and leave to home in night . The second shift workers start the work at night and leave to home at early morning . Only for low income . So the labours have few hours to live their life . The Karl Marx breaks the chain rules .

Factory labor does not necessarily mean capitalism. In theory, you could have factory labor with pure communism or socialism. I sympathize with many of the points given here about the problems with alienation caused by the industrial revolution, but I'm not sure it can totally be attributed to capitalism.
Why subtitle is not able?
Excellent

thank you!
This is hilarious. So boring factory work in the 27 Socialist countries like the USSR or the CCP wasn't alienating? It was. Marxists love to speak from theory but rarely investigate their many and continuous failures of Socialism in action.
They real question is, "WHY did Socialist countries fail to prevent alienation with their boring jobs?" I've never read that Soviet steel factor workers talking about fulfilling their potential or the meaningfulness of boring work in unpleasant conditions. I never will, unless I see some ridiculous glowing propaganda film.
This is one of my big problems with Marxists/Socialists: Dissimulation (lying).
That was state capitalism, smart feller.
@@kevinkeating4984 Yet you Socialists have no produced no alternative. I keep hearing that Real socialism has never been tried. However, why is no one 'trying it'? We have 172 years of no 'real socialism' after the Communist Manifesto was written. When do Socialists give up? That is a long period of failure to make Marxism even work. NO classless society, NO stateless Communism. I never to expect to see either of these forms of "Eden".
It was real socialism
Misses the point that alienation is also felt by the bourgeoisie.
Yes, it goes both ways. But Marxists literature seems to primarily focus on the alienation of the working class, perhaps because it is easier to see the effects of it.
You both raise valid points! Alienation does indeed affect both the bourgeoisie (the capitalist class) and the proletariat (the workers), no doubt. Yet, Marx and most Marxists lean towards the working class (i.e., everyone who works for a living) because they face harsher impacts, primarily exploitation and dehumanisation, through capitalism. Though it's less conspicuous, the bourgeoisie (the capitalist class), despite their perceived 'control,' are often trapped in their own system, bound by capital and market demands. But let's not forget that it's this same system that sustains their privilege at the cost of the working class's hardship. Hence the emphasis.
They're not "putting things in past tense." They're explaining how we got to this point. Karl Marx wrote over 100 years ago. So they're describing things during his lifetime. Basically Marx called all of this B.S. over 100 years ago....
why is everything in the past tense lol shit is exactly the same today
Gillian Anderson is British?
great
I'm not human myself. That's why I dehumanize myself everyday. Eventually, I'm gonna do other things to myself to the point when I die, I'll be donated to science instead of having to be buried and a funeral.
Thus Ludlow Massacre happened and now Americans get Saturdays and Sundays off maxed at 40 hours a week.
It's just great!
TJ Miller cameo at 1:44
Great
gillian anderson?
I can see how the workers who are building Boeing airliners can feel alienation because they cannot afford to buy their own 787. How is this justice when the workers in the pencil factory can buy several any day of the week? And I speak as having known a person who worked in a real pencil factory.
Russell Brand?
Work good, labor bad, paying those who choose not to pay for themselves best
Puts folders up during test because those who don't study copy answers. Becomes marxist
Gillian Anderson does this and then plays a Thatcher.
this broke it down
There's a lot of presupposed negative value judgments made in describing the workers lives. This video is conjecture dressed up as scientific analysis.
***** That guy got fuckin roasted. Good one m8.
This video is presenting an idea from a dead white dude... nothing about it was 'dressed up as scientific analysis.' Troll much?
Louis Cyfear once the analysis is logical it is scientific
Mohammed fawzi Yes but the it's only a theory.
And its logical on the other hand your comment which holds no argument
good shit
I love this video. For those lodging complaint that it's all set in the past, there's a modern dude with a Che Guevara tee shirt, popping in behind Marx at the end.
I think that's Russell Brand.
