While some may argue that an individual can find themselves through work, Marx disagrees. He believes that the products created by the worker “do not belong to his essence”. (88) This means that the products that the worker produces in a capitalist economy are not for him, but rather for others in the economy. Therefore, Marc argues that the work "is not confirmed in his work, he denies himself, feels unhappy instead of happy..."(88) As I already mentioned, Marx believes that the worker in capitalism is obliged to create products because that is what capitalism values, its products. Marx believes that there is no satisfaction or validation of humans because the product of their labor leads to nothing for itself. The worker's work is not rather a pleasure, but "only a means of satisfying needs external to himself." Marx shows here that the worker is obliged to go to work, not for pleasure, but because the capitalist system has only allowed work. worker to survive by working and then paying for the goods he needs to survive. The worker therefore loses his identity because he works more than he sleeps or has free time. Marx believes that this coherent work not only alienates the worker from himself, but that it alienates him from his human functions and relegates him to an inferior rank..
