Commodities Fetishism and money fetishism were a society phenomenon what has been existed in the capitalist society and still to date .Fetishism exist all forms of commodities in social patterns. It originated labor of production has the unique social nature and the private labor with double social attributes. Its essence that social relations what all people about labor are covered by relationship what are created. Social nature what people themselves labor has been taken into the nature what labor productions themselves as social relationship taken up. Therefore, the performance of social relations between producers and the total social labor exists in the relationship between commodity producers and staff of the object outside and out of the relationship. This kind of subversion deceived people to see the essence of world, the alienation of the concept penetrated people's everyday life in society, and it looks like a mysterious magic that dominated people's work. Marx pointed out that the phenomenon of fetishism within the capitalist society was to reveal the alienation of human's existence. Fetishism as alienated ideology influenced and distorted people's existence in society. Marx's critique is also about the ugly means of bourgeoisie that made the exploitation of workers look like more justify. Although Marx had a profound revelation of it and pointed out his personal views toward fetishism, the phenomenon of fetishism did not seem weaker than before, because Marx viewed the basic conditions for free and comprehensive development of people and highly developed productive forces that could not be achieved in a short time, and this has to go through a long period of time together with the fetishism, which, would be full of hardship. The most profound reasons of Marx's theory and reveal of fetishism came after his exploration of social life which has always concerned about the people's living conditions. He saw the alienation of people's social life and the living condition and wished to reveal the problem through his efforts to let people see the essence of the problem and then work together to change the alienated existence ultimately. His hard work was of great significance and guidance to the people at that time and also applicable for us in the society. He made us understand the phenomenon and the problem of fetishism so that we can see the historical development of society, and also enable us to face up with the pains throughout history positively in order to make better and faster development as well as create better conditions for the survival of humanity.
