Quote from: K-Dog on Sep 25, 2024, 10:15 PMWould this quote also apply to scientific research? Are scientists considered "workers" within the context of this theory of political thought?QuoteWorkers do not decide what commodities are made, how they are made, and in what working conditions they are made. As a result, work is often dreary, repetitive, and even dangerous. Such work may be suitable for machines, or beings without the ability to consciously and freely decide how they want to work, but it is not suitable for human beings.
Classic Marx. It is important to note that alienation applies to the entire modern supply chain.
Work isn't dreary or repetitive, rarely dangerous and certainly many decide how they want to work. In my case in slippers, nylon gym shorts and a t-shirt.
