Labor produces marvels for the rich but it produces deprivation for the worker. it produces palaces, but hovels for the worker. it produces beauty, but deformity for the worker. it replaces labor by machines, but it throws one section of the workers back to barbaric labor, and it turns the remainder into machines.
Work Palaces Machines
The fact that labour is external to the worker, i.e., it does not belong to his intrinsic nature; that in his work, therefore he does not affirm himself but denies himself, does not feel content but unhappy, does not develop freely his physical and mental energy but mortifies his body and his mind. the worker therefore only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself.
Mind Unhappy Energy
Work is external to the worker. . . . it is not part of his nature; consequently he does not fulfill himself in his work but denies himself. . . . the worker therefore feels himself at home only during his leisure time, whereas at work he feels homeless.
Home Doe Leisure
A willing, cheerful worker, with his heart in his job, will turn out more work and more satisfactory work in 44 hours than an unwilling worker, dissatisfied with his conditions, will turn out in 54 hours. it is good business, therefore, for every employer to go as far as he possibly can in reaching a schedule agreeable to his people.

The prospect of a world that contains neither humans nor z's is not so terrifying. nature will take its world back. animals will frolic and fight. there will be no lord of the manor, which is not such a bad thing, because it seems to me that people have done a pretty poor job of guiding the biosphere for the last few thousand years.
