Tale IV: Inside The Whale Theory

Human as Resource

In Lefebvre's view, people's daily lives had become controlled by the bourgeoisie, and no matter how trivial a thing they did, they were manipulated into doing it. People in modern society have become puppets under the alienation of everyday life and do not understand their own lives very well. This can be seen as alienation in industrial development. In the process of capital growth, all human and non-human beings are treated equally as resources and are required to be on standby.

Marx also said that labour has become a means of sustaining the physical existence of the worker, that the worker has no freedom in the production process, and that the class nature of the worker himself is not realized in the labour process. In modern nomadic life, the line between life and work has blurred. Workers have lived at sea for a long time but have never called this place home.
