Capitalism is a necessary state of the development of man’s productive capacities. But in the developmental process, it distorts his nature.

On the one hand, it creates the bourgeois who is possessed and enslaved by profits; on the other hand, it produces the (destitute?) worker who is paid enough to keep his nostrils bobbing above the surface of the murky pond of deprivation.

The glaring truth of this reality is that both classes can’t reach any compromise of sorts. 

They (bourgeois) can’t pay the men more and cut down on profits because profits are necessary for the creation of capital; and without capital, there is no development of productive capacity.

Basically, the businessman is only doing what history expects of him.

Capitalism has some by-products, of which alienation is a dominating factor.

What is alienation in regards to capitalism?

It is basically a state man finds himself when his spirit has been broken by the monotony of his work.

Labour starts as a creative process through which man expresses himself; but profit demands the division of labour and the worker then discovers his individuality has morphed into a translucent state before the phosphorescent rays of capitalism. He has become an adjunct to machine through a slow and sure process of socio-economic humiliation and material degradation.
