Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marx believed that the constant exploitation of workers by the capitalist system leads to a sense of powerlessness and distance from others and oneself. This feeling of estrangement or alienation arises from the fact that workers' creative talents are used to produce goods that are not theirs, and they have no control over the final product or the conditions of their labor. This alienation contributes to class conflict, as workers become increasingly unhappy with their situation and may eventually seek to overthrow the system that oppresses them. Therefore, the correct choice is (D) alienation.
