The human condition is, first, one of “alienating” dependence on nature, which man invents tools to master. Technological development, however, leads to a “division of labor” which creates the further alienation of humanity split into warring social classes, thereby sundering the primal unity of the species. Marx’s idea of “emancipation” from these dehumanizing forms of servitude, therefore, does not mean individual freedom. It means, rather, liberation of the species over the long haul of history from the socioeconomic shackles of its own creation.
The same can be said for any movement or string of thought that categorises humans!
