and are reduced to mere cogs (wheel) in the
capitalist system.

Base refers to the production forces, or the materials and resources
that generate the goods society needs. In other words economy is
the foundation (base) of social life. A society’s economic base includes
the means of production, such as factories, machines, and raw
materials,
and the relations of production, which are the social relations that
people engage in to produce goods
and services.
