This was done for a creative assignment given to me by my philosophy teacher. We were told to express our knowledge of Karl Marx's ideas of Alienation in the four different ways:
1. Product
2. Productive Activity
3. Ourselves (Own Identity)
4. Each other (Society)

Even if you're not big on philosophy, at least watch this and listen to the message I'm trying to get at.

Why do we find ourselves never questioning the origins of our products, and I'm not just talking about clothes and electronics. I mean, everything!

It's a good thing to think about!

  • Marx said industrialization negates socialism - so a country has to go through the capitalist stage before it goes through the socialist stage. This, in a sense, is why Chinese and Indian attempts at socialism failed. However now Chinese and Indian workers are industrializing they will form trade unions and fund political parties which in turn will call for universal suffrage i.e. real and meaningful democracy.Hence, Globalization negates the final stage of capitalism.

  • Can't Anybody See? its not Al-Qaeda, its not Iran, nor is it our Housing Market, nor Our Unemployment! It is Our 'DEBT' that is Killing us! We were Suppose to Stop this Madness at 14 trillion dollars in Debt! we are almost 16 trillion in Debt! WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP! Our Debt is Going to DESTROY US! Not COMMUNISM, Not TERRORISM, Our DEBT!

  • socialism and "entitlement society" isn't destroying america. free trade has already destroyed this country.

    marx's theory of alienation is based on the fact that accentuated class differences dissolves the labor class from the upper class from any commonality
