alienation: an introduction to Marxist theory

bristol | protests | event notice Tuesday May 29, 2012 14:35 by martin

The idea of being alienated from one’s own labour was summarised by Karl Marx when he wrote, “The activity of the worker is not his spontaneous activity. It belongs to another, it is a loss of self.”

And alienation is felt in a variety of ways. It affects not only our feelings about work and self, but also our relationships with others and with nature.

This discussion meeting will explore what alienation is, why it happens, and how we can build a new type of society to overcome it.
