is one who, when he co-operates systematically with others, he strips off the fetters of his individuality, and develops the capabilities of his species.

When the labourer co-operates systematically with others, he strips off the fetters of his individuality, and develops the capabilities of his species. Karl Marx

is a man who works with his hands... a craftsman is a man who works with his hands and his mind... an artist is a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer... a man who works with his hands and his mind is a craftsman... but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist. (St. Thomas Aquinas)

is one who maintains a livelihood only so long as his work increases capital. He must sell himself piecemeal, and expose himself to all the vicissitudes of competition, to all the fluctuations of the market.

In proportion as the bourgeoisie, i.e., capital, is developed, in the same proportion is the proletariat, the modern working class, developed a class of labourers, who live only so long as they find work, and who find work only so long as their labour increases capital. These labourers, who must sell themselves piecemeal, are a commodity, like every other article of commerce, and are consequently exposed to all the vicissitudes of competition, to all the fluctuations of the market. Karl Marx

is one who, if he were in possession of his own means of production, and was satisfied to live as a laborer, he would need not work beyond beyond the time necessary for the reproduction of his means of subsistence, say 8 hours a day.

If this labourer were in possession of his own means of production, and was satisfied to live as a labourer, he need not work beyond beyond the time necessary for the reproduction of his means of subsistence, say 8 hours a day. Karl Marx

is tied to that which he fabricates. The better shaped his product is, the more misshapen he becomes.

The better shaped his product, the more misshapen the worker. Karl Marx

is one who puts his life into the object, and yet the labor comes to belong to the object rather than to the laborer.

The worker puts his life into the object... but now it no longer belongs to him, it belongs to the object. Karl Marx

is trapped in an entire system of bourgeoisie exploitation such that as soon as the manufacturer's exploitation is at an end, he receives his wages in cash only to be immediately set upon by the other portions of the bourgeoisie: The landlord, the shopkeeper, the pawnbroker, etc.

No sooner is the exploitation of the labourer by the manufacturer, so far, at an end, that he receives his wages in cash, than he is set upon by the other portions of the bourgeoisie, the landlord, the shopkeeper, the pawnbroker, etc. Karl Marx
