@PocahantosLong2@artbysimmii@eferenkuwa_a@crimson_lux I cant see the world being fully automated (or run by fairies), but ngl I find it difficult to see a world where capitalist tendencies arent favored (i disagree with it mostly, but with the insatiable greed of some of us, i don't know what can trigger a shift, so i'm used to it)
@PocahantosLong2@artbysimmii@eferenkuwa_a@crimson_lux "The point is not that work has NO value. But it does not have MORE value than actually living life"
You're right, thank you for this. I may have been slightly brainwashed by how things are.
Also, like the other person suggested, diving more into marxist theory helped.
@artbysimmii@PocahantosLong2@eferenkuwa_a@crimson_lux Ok, I understand, thank you for this.
Under the Marxist lens then, nearly everything under capitalism is exploitation, which sucks to think about.
In this world, realistically, there will always be groups of greedy people. If they don't agree to change the system, nothing changes
@PocahantosLong2@artbysimmii@eferenkuwa_a@crimson_lux but the effort is what makes that purpose more valuable.
a lot of capitalist practices are exploitation, definitely, but people have to discern which ones are versus which ones actually add value to the people making an effort, too. have we asked them?
@PocahantosLong2@artbysimmii@eferenkuwa_a@crimson_lux yeah but everyone didn't have to work, then who will build buildings, who will take care of livestock to feed us, who will churn butter, who will create our tech? i agree that capitalism is shit but if work had no value, what then? we all toil for a purpose,
@artbysimmii@eferenkuwa_a@crimson_lux and, for example, we all just had the means to not go to work, what then? what will happen to us? what incentive will anyone have to do anything?
and ultimately, what exactly is it that we're all fighting for here?
@yk_xiany@_kyleken she wants the best for you, sure, but she doesn't know what's best for you.
gotta be more confident in what you know about yourself because your mom doesn't know everything there is about you man. she has good intentions but does she know what makes you happy? dont think so
