Marx believed that work should be a source of fulfillment for people, not just a means of survival or to generate profits for capitalists. He argued for the idea of "alienation," in which workers become disconnected from their labor and no longer receive a sense of satisfaction or joy from it. Marx believed that a socialist society would allow for work to become fulfilling for all individuals.
