The Importance of Social Conditions in Capitalism

When Marx says workers are alienated from their products he doesn't necessarily mean only that each individual worker is alienated from the product made by that individual worker. Rather it's better to read him as saying that workers collectively are alienated from the products of workers collectively. Part of the product isn't just these physical objects that we're making but also the social conditions under which we make them. One of the consequences of capitalist production is a social structure in which some people are rich, some people are poor and have to work for the people who are rich. The more the worker produces the more the worker is producing the means of his own domination. Capitalism is a monster that controls us that we created.
