The relationship between modern workers and machines

The film Modern Times describes the conflict between man and machine. The background is the wave of unemployment caused by the massive dismissal of workers by American industry because of the switch to machines, and the protagonist Charlot is a tragic representative of this era. He lost his mind on the accelerating conveyor belt production line, was caught in the huge machine gear, and was slapped by the faulty eating machine, hitting him in the sad and frightened face. These images all reflect the fear and blow brought by the machine age. Finally, Charlot lost his job. He joined the huge flood of job hunting, and even unwittingly led the demonstrators. However, in the end, his poor fate could not be changed. The only best place not to worry about life is prison, so in order to go to prison, Charlot took the initiative to take the fall for others. However, contrary to expectations, he can't go to prison, but every cloud has a glimmer of hope for the love of the girl he helped.

The background of "modern times" is the era when capitalism went to monopoly in 1930s. The machinery industry developed rapidly and the capital was concentrated in the hands of a few monopoly consortia.

So I feel that I mainly write my own views on social, political and economic operation in combination with real life.

1. The fundamental contradiction of capitalism is the contradiction between socialized mass production and private ownership.

1) Mercenarism is the nature of capital. There are two ways to increase profits, one is to increase intensity and extend working hours, and the other is to improve through new science and technology.

2) the role of money. Due to the commodity exchange process of monetary media, the gap between buying and selling, unemployment and the gap between the rich and the poor in time and space has been caused.
