Automatic system of machinery

Set in motion by automaton

A moving power than moves itself

Workers cast as conscious parts

Living labour owned by object labour

Machine is not human means

Only machine’s will be done

Machines supervises

Machine stops interruptions

Machine has strength and skill

It is virtuoso

Machine becomes mighty ruler

Humans only part of machine

Consumes coal and oil

A soul of its own

Machine produces vast quantities

No need for producers

Knowledge absorbed into capital

Alien and external

A soul of it own

A soul of its own

Alien external
