alienation

(noun) a withdrawing or separation of a person or a person's affections from an object or position of former attachment; estrangement / (noun) a conveyance of property to another / (combining form) oneself or itself / (combining form) of oneself or itself / (combining form) by oneself or itself / (combining form) to, with, for, or toward oneself or itself / (combining form) of or in oneself or itself inherently / (combining form) from or by means of oneself or itself
this reality should be recognized as the work of our own hands. Not to see it as this--to regard it as something natural or inexplicable, independent of our own activity--is what Marx calls alienation. He means the condition in which we forget that history is our own production, and come to be mastered by it as by an alien force.
