That indictment is Marx’s vision of what modern bourgeois society forces people to be: they have to freeze their feelings for each other to find a place in a cold world. Bourgeois society “has left no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous cash payment.” It has “drowned every form of sentimental value in the icy waters of egotistical calculation.” It has “resolved personal worth into exchange-value.” It has collapsed every idea of freedom “into that single, unconscionable freedom—free trade.” It has “torn away from the family its sentimental veil, and has reduced the family relation to a mere money relation.” It has “converted the doctor, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage-laborers.” “In one word, for exploitation veiled by religious and political illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation.” It forces people to degrade themselves in order to survive.
I think this is.a very crucial part of the text to read slowly and analyze. It elaborates on the peoples feelings towards the way they'd be treated. Arguments they make in oppose to it, arguments o suggest they lose their freedom, their unique value and job expertise, things that make them special and feel more self worth. Like the text says, "It forces people to degrade themselves in order to survive". Which I get that I would not appreciate a lifestyle where I feel that I cannot express myself, feel special for the job that I perform especially if it was a highly respected career such as a doctor. To me it would be a life of dulness and I would not enjoy that either so I get the argumentative people and their opinions.
