Capitalism and the Dehumanized Exploiter

It follows from Marxist analysis, that in a Capitalist system, the condition of the exploiter is just as much one of deprivation and dehumanization as is that of the exploited, but for different reasons.  For, the exploiter is essentially idle, and, hence, as non-productive, is deprived of the enjoyment of the fruits of one's labor.  Furthermore, because implicit in Marxism is the definition of 'human' as 'homo faber', non-productiveness is equivalent to non-humanness.
