Synopsis

A community which would not join forces to support itself gave way to one which is willing to enforce its oppression. That, perhaps, describes modern society as it is. A cold and distant communal effort which has given up on its shared responsibility but which is willing to enforce its own oppression. The nature of alienation within modern society, such as it was described years ago in the works of many sociologists and philosophers, and as it is today, could not be separated from the reality of the oppression of the self in the 21st century, and as such a new examination is needed. In this short piece, Edo Filz tries to describe the nature of alienation and its new face, loneliness, as a conflict of identity created by capitalism and maintained by the broader social construct. The new face of alienation, created by the changes in patterns of social and political distribution and in the oppression of identity by capitalism, has created a need for a new and deeper examination, which this essay works to lay the foundation for.
