Who are "We"?
Marx starts "Estranged Labor" by invoking a rhetorical "We" in his first series of assertions. It gave me pause and made me wonder who he was referring to. Did the "we" reach up to now?

In the contextual texts it states "Marx and Engels stressed that their 'standpoint' is 'human society, or social humanity.'" Perhaps this is the "We" he refers to? Any thoughts?

The universality of man
The inversion of consciousness and nature by estranged labour is a fascinating point in Marx's argument. I wondered if the attitude of man's connection with nature (nature being part of his inorganic body) was an attitude that may have been prevalent at that time, that is if nature is immediately part of man's body does it imply that it is under his dominion as well? This dominance of mankind seems to be something that was a driving force in the 2nd industrial revolution alluded to in the contextual material. Dzula 16:14, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
