Marx’s theory of alienation of labor takes place in a capitalist society where workers are made to feel foreign from the products of their labor. Marx outlines four categories of alienation which are the product of labor, activity, alienation from humanity, and from society. This is part of the systemic approach utilized by capitalism to surrender control.
In capitalism, the separation of the producers from the means of production means that the means are controlled by the select few, enriching them while essentially exploiting the working class through employment, in conditions which they do not control.
