Commodification shapes the physical process of work itself and our understanding of it. Work becomes dominated by rationalisation, a high division of labour, repetition and obsession with quantity rather than quality.

The finished article no longer appears as the object of a process at all. The fragmented process of production of the object ends up producing a fragmented subject:

‘The personality can do no more than look on helplessly while its own existence is reduced to an isolated particle fed into an alien system.’

Reification* then has three reinforcing effects on consciousness.

---It hides the real, human relations of capitalism;

---it makes the system appear as  if it is driven by an inhuman, preordained logic;

----and it makes workers feel powerless to do anything about it…

that is wicked.
