On Alienation, Redemption and the Impossibility of Revolution.
This paper is on the concept of alienation, and in turn, the concept also of liberation. The focus of this discussion will be directed toward first, the 'causes of alienation', and to this end, this essay will begin with an outline and discussion of some of the central ideas of Karl Marx from his work titled The Communist Manifesto. It will be argued that alienation is caused by the relationship surrounding the means of production - in short, there are those who own their own means of production, and those who have to sell their labor in order to subsist. 13.5 pgs. 8 f/c. 2b.
