            Man is a species-being.  Man happens to live in society.  It is through social engagement that his distinctively human nature is unfolding.  Marx embedded how man can be emancipated, liberated from whatever dehumanizes him.  He is fundamentally ascribing with determining the roots of institutionalized oppression and structuralized injustices.  He is subscribing to history: first, to locate the ground for historical movements discernible in diverging modes of production rather than in the sphere of idealism; second, Marx allusion to the transformation of the social world in the future.  Hence, Marx envision a pattern in history and anticipating a revolutionary transformation in the future.

           Marx argument is centered on understanding the causes and destiny of the social and economic revolutions of his time and by understanding the process of transformation, to contribute to it. His viewpoint is focused on man’s fourfold alienation – from himself, his work, his productivity, and his fellowmen.  In the capitalist society, man must overcome that alienation of restraining his own destiny through communism. The paradigm of surplus value is a definitive version of his paradigm of alienated labor.  The restrain of one’s destiny is fundamental to human freedom.  Marx viewpoint is a process of human liberation he called “the total redemption of humanity”.  He sees total redemption as historically attainable neglecting the insurmountability of the impediments of mortality and egotism.  In a society wherein man’s fourfold alienation had been transcendent, wherein work had been humanized, and the state abolished the question of God has no possibility to emerge.
