Machinery's Impact on Labor and Class Struggle

This chapter explores Marx's analysis of machinery's influence on labor, discussing concepts like moral depreciation, intensification of work, and the factory system's effects on skill levels. It emphasizes how machinery reshapes social relations within labor, leading to exhaustion and separation of intellectual faculties. The narrative also covers the role of machinery in class struggle, as capital strategically employs technology to suppress worker revolts and maintain control over labor.
