Exploration of Marx's Thought on Labor Liberation of the Working Class
Marx believed that the principle that"labor creates wealth"advocated by national economists could not dispel the paradox that"workers'labor brings poverty".Through the critique of political economy,Marx corrected the abstract expression of national economists about labor,revealed the domination of capital over labor,explained the commodification process of labor and the inevitability of workers'labor being devalued,and pointed out the path to labor liberation for the working class.Marx pointed out that wage labor is a"low-level"and"temporary"form and it is destined to be replaced by higher forms of free association labor in society.The fundamental path for labor to overcome capital lies in that the working class must abolish the wage labor system through revolutionary political action.The ultimate goal of labor liberation is to establish a"united,social individual ownership",eliminate the class attribute of labor,and return labor to human autonomous activities.
