And also the concept of non-alienated work. Marx says that humanity changes the world and knows itself through non-alienated work.

And work is also studying, teaching, discussing, exchanging ideas. After the revolution, men will teach or learn in the morning, in the afternoon they will build their own objects, cultivate the land or go fishing.

But look at what the WEF posts on its page: "When artificial intelligence and robots took over so much of our work, we suddenly had time to eat well, sleep well, and spend time with other people. etc. ''

It's the apex of alienation, we will are be checked 24/7, fetishism at its peak.

The Marxian concept of commodity fetishism always comes to mind. “Fetishism means that things govern society rather than human beings, since they (things) contain their social relations (of human beings). It is introjected in us, it is difficult to disidentify with this. Fetishism represents the heart of the Marxian conception of capitalism not only as an unjust society, but also, in its fundamental categories, destructive and self-destructive. By now we can no longer even understand the concept of alienation, of commodity fetishism, but it is from there that we arrive at the current absurdity, in which a group of oligarchs, from above, arrogates the right to control bodies and minds as goods. But it is a long history, this is the history of capitalism, nothing has changed, it is the new metamorphosis of capitalism.

I often read on social media: oh my God the Davos oligarchs want to take away private property ... Which is not true, they want to expand their property, taking it away, what the capitalists have always done since the time of 'Enclosures'. This will do the IMF in all over the world, as one of the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse ... It would be fantastic if nature, the environment, the water, the earth were declared COMMON GOOD! But that's exactly what they don't want to do, they want to privatize everything alive in their favor. They are not Bolsheviks, they are capitalists.

It is the final accumulation.

hi, great job, you are very helpful for me in understanding things, beyond the fixed patterns of the language of the web. I only have doubts when you talk about communism. In my opinion it is not communism, it is feudalism. Not even the proletariat of which Marx speaks, and which is responsible for leading the class struggle, possessed nothing, in fact it had nothing to lose from a revolution, it was not conservative, because he has nothing to lose, since he has nothing '' The proletariat has no property '' repeats Marx. In my opinion the Davosians want to undo the results of 200 years of class struggle, at least here in Europe.They use ambiguous, flirtatious language, which could deceive those who forget Marx's analysis of the class struggle, that the very peculiarity of Marxism: in communism the emancipation of the workers must come from below, from the workers themselves, and not from above, from a group of fake bandit philanthropists who say they are doing our good, while consolidating their power. This is the paternalism of tyrants, and it is precisely against this that anarchists, communists and socialists have always fought. And it is the exact opposite of communist thinking.

Marx was a Hegelian, that is, he had studied Hegel thoroughly, even before being an economist; and this process of liberation through one's struggles is called self-awareness or even praxis, or better, (reversing the Hegelian dialectic, that slut will say Marx, with her feet on the ground), class struggle, in history.

If we remove the concept of class struggle from the marxism, it's over, we agree with Schwab who, at the height of perversity, is photographed with the image of Lenin behind him, because his bottomless fetishism also wants to cannibalize the revolution and upset in the eyes of the people, the sense of the Soviet revolution of 1917.

In Russia, the Sovit who led the Bolshevik revolution were formed by the workers and especially by the soldiers, millions of soldiers who had mutinied in a fratricidal world war, wanted by the masters. Farmers, workers, soldies.
