"to possess possessions, a man will "sell himself" to have what another has. But it never dawns on him–that the more he gets, the less he keeps of himself..." (Rius 82)
Any person (not just man, and obviously not just white men) who sells her/his labor power to buy what capital produces, becomes a compulsive consumer (i don't think we can escape buying from the market, at this moment ??) and because working means renting the body, and in a sense, our life-time, than we don't have much for ourselves. we get to keep less of ourselves, we don't dream, write, create art, spent time with the family. "The things you own, end up owning you." (who said this, besides Fight Club)

as well as its limitation (i'm not about to go calling myself a marxist) but i do recognize that a lot of revolutionary movements have been deeply influenced by Marxism. so, check him out.
