Marx and Machinery

Marx's ideas about machinery seem to parallel Ghandi's. Acccording to Marx, "[Man] becomes an apendage of the machine, and it is only the most simple, most monotonous, and most easily acquired knack, that is required of him (164). Ghandi also believes that machinery is not good for man because it enslaves man. Marx says that machine enslaves man so much that man actually becomes a part of the machine.
