When man becomes an individual, he experiences an unbearable separetedness from the world and from himself. This creates a longing for reunion, that can be carried out in a love relation with another human or through action, which is spontaneous work with a physical object. Man is acting: if he initiates the action – that is if the idea to act comes from his own free mind – if he decides upon the action and if he carries out the action in physical work. If someone else takes over one of the three steps, man becomes alienated and sticks to one of three methods of self-deception: escapism, sadism and masochism.
Modern society is to be understood as divided into thre separate parts – leissure, work and politics– and since man is alienated in the latter two, man becomes alienated to the processes of work and political work and his prime goal becomes the masochistic act of cunsumption. The solution to man’s alienation is the abolition of society’s separatedness through the abolition of state and capitalism. (Less)
