According to karl marx, capitalism reduces many people's work to dull, uninteresting tasks, over which workers have no influence or control. what term did he use to refer to this situation and the feelings it engendered?

Answer: Alienation

According to Marx, alienation is the result of living a mechanistic lifestyle or essentially acting like a machine day in and day out, and consequentially being separated from your humanity. He argued that the worker looses their sense of desire and destiny when they are deprived of the right to choose their own actions.
