Need to call it something. Marx went with "estrangement". Alienation seems to be more commonly used today.

Marx used the german word "Entfremdung", which can mean either "estrangement" or "alienation". In context, "Alienation" is the better translation.

Because I found it interesting, the wikipedia entry on Marx’s Theory of Alienation[1].
