Excerpt
Young Marx That man's own life is an object for him. That animals build nests, build dwellings, whereas man contemplates himself in the world that he has created: That you cannot find yourself in your labor because it does not belong to your essential being: That estranged from labor the laborer is self-estranged, alien to himself: That your nature is to labor: That feeling himself fleetingly unbound only when eating, drinking, procreating, in his dwelling and dressing-up, man erects means into sole and ultimate ends: That where he makes what he makes, he is not: That when he makes, he is not: Thus the ground of our self-estrangement. Marx in 1844, before the solutions that he proposed betrayed him by entering history, before, like Jesus, too many sins were committed in his name.
