Reading EPM of 1844

Came back to Marx after a year or so..cant get enough of him...gives me a high...its like he gives you the path to nirvana...here are a few points...
the machine accomodates itself to the weakness of the human being in order to make the weak human being into a machine.....
the political economist takes from you in and in humanity, he replaces for in money and in wealth; and all the things which you cannot do, your money can do. it can eat and drink, go to the dance hall and the theatre; it can travel, it can appropriate art, learning, the treasures of the past, political power- all this it can appropriate for you- it can buy all this: it is true endowment....it wants to do nothing but create itself, buy itself, for everything else is after all its servant...
okie..posted this on Mahim's wall....will do more later...office time!
