I just don't want my life to part of a rat race.
All I care about is having the time and means to do as I please...freedom.
Disability will be my freedom.
Eternal struggle, cuck
The difference is...I won't be struggling.
No one should ever have to but...corruption creates slavery.
The majority will always be restricted to the means to keep working in a slave-driven society enabled by corruption.
We live in a world where money trumps morality.
This is what true journalism looks like...
Everyone in the military, especially command and control, needs to watch that video.
It outlines the big picture that is the corruption, which is undermining the people completely while killing millions of others needlessly.
The military industrial complex is the greatest threat to the people in world history.
The governments are their gatekeepers.
If this was all a game of chess, the collective private military contractors is the enemy king.
I mean I get that it can seem like slavery since everyone expects you to work once you exist. But that's basically what life is, you have to work. Or provide for yourself or your family provides for you. But a lot of people can't really afford to have their family's support since they don't have much money. Fortunately for me my family is quite wealthy so I don't really need to worry about that. But I will work either way because I want to be productive for others, not just myself.
But yeah I wouldn't put my job above my morality either. I have a lot of time to study so I might as well take my time and relax until I decide to work.
Then you're the very rare person who works because they want to, not because you need to.
You are the 1%.
I doubt it's only 1% who work because they want to maybe a little more.
No, you're the 1% that never has to work.
But there is nothing intrinsic to life that mandates you perform wage labour.
there's more than 1% that don't need to work. Well depends on what country.
How about homelessness and death?
Of course not in the world.
to want to work, be useful, or reach self actualization doesnt at equate to wage labour
1% of the world.
That's what we turned it into.
Not all of us turned into that.
And it is infact a form of coerced labour
Not literal slavery, but coerced nonetheless
There are people who either can't or won't work...they are homeless or on disability...unless they're wealthy.
I don't want to work just for the money, simply because I don't really need money. I want to work if it benefitted others.
Coerced labor is slavery.
It's a nice way of saying forced.
coerced labor is labor you perform, under coercion.
It isnt intrinsically slavery
because you technically have a false choice
Just like signing paperwork under duress.
"Work or starve"
Exactly.
yes but if you're a capitalist,
That's slavery.
you pretend thats a choice
Which obviously its not,
but I image E is a capitalist
or wants to be one
He wants capitalism because he is wealthy.
It's within his interests.
Not the people around him.
The majority do not want capitalism.
But thats why I mentioned work doesnt have to be wage labour
Which is exactly why I want to work for others. Out of my own interests.
to say people "Want to work" isnt to be simplified to them working to not starve
Simply because Im a selfish capitalist pig of course
they want to work, because people want to feel useful
It's slavery if any person does not want to work.
I wouldn't call it
that
Just like you wouldn't call government tyrannical.
That's just life. You have to work.
Well I think there is a relevant distinction to be made between coerced labor and slavery
and you dont have to work
"You have to work".
its not life
Slavery.
its only life if the capitalist class says it is
we're free to oppose that
Only you'll then claim its somehow natural
You do have to. It's part of evolution and how we evolved. If nobody worked we wouldn't progress.
No it isnt.
Proof?
We did not evolve to work for the sake of working.
You first, you're making the claim.
^
Never said that
Yes, but you did
I never said people work for the sake of working
"You do have to. It's part of evolution and how we evolved. If nobody worked we wouldn't progress."
Yes
We have to work
what do you think this implies
as a species
to survive
except we dont, not in the way you mean
i.e. wage labor
hence why wage labour didnt exist prior to capitalism
It implies just what I said. We have to work. I never claimed we had to work for the sake of working. That's nonsense
because it in no way is natural to our circumstance
Again, not in the way you mean
We only have to feed, cloth, and house ourselves...not spend 200 hours a week slaving away for someone else's profits.
Ok what do I mean then?
we're talking in the context of capitalism where the number one mode of work is that of wage labour
wage labour is manufactured
^
it is in no way natural or the mode in which we all "have to work"
what you mean,
is we all have to do "something"
Some jobs don't require you to work 200 hours a week
whether that be farm, intellectual work.
