This particular farmer or farmers were the best in their firld

2018-06-30 01:45:42 UTC  

Cause they don't want to starve?

2018-06-30 01:45:43 UTC  

Field

2018-06-30 01:45:57 UTC  

They made the highest quality food and knew how to farm

2018-06-30 01:46:10 UTC  

Eventually the cycle will happen again

2018-06-30 01:46:16 UTC  

Another farmer will be the best

2018-06-30 01:46:21 UTC  

And they will get frustrated

2018-06-30 01:46:25 UTC  

And stop producing

2018-06-30 01:46:33 UTC  

Why do they get frustrated?

2018-06-30 01:46:56 UTC  

Because they will feel like they are working too hard and not getting a reward they deserve

2018-06-30 01:47:09 UTC  

Then they don't have to work that hard

2018-06-30 01:47:25 UTC  

If you are making most of the food or the highest quality food then you come to expect some mor respect in your society

2018-06-30 01:47:51 UTC  

Then society will give it, but no hierarchy will be created to give power to them

2018-06-30 01:47:55 UTC  

Why wouldn’t you want people to work harder this is counter-productive this kind of society discourages technology

2018-06-30 01:48:15 UTC  

Progress stops

2018-06-30 01:48:46 UTC  

Actually it expands the capacity for innovation by freeing people to fully explore their ideas risk free without fear of starvation for trying

2018-06-30 01:49:25 UTC  

But for farming if you don't want to work that hard then dont, tell the commune, a commune-mandated-syndicate will draft a new schedule, and the slack will be picked up elsewhere

2018-06-30 01:50:15 UTC  

But the point is, people want to work harder and do the best they possibly can

2018-06-30 01:50:34 UTC  

Some people do it better than others, and they want rewards they feel justify their skill

2018-06-30 01:50:42 UTC  

If they don’t get that, they will quit

2018-06-30 01:50:46 UTC  

Progress stops

2018-06-30 01:51:01 UTC  

Society may live on, but progress will not

2018-06-30 01:51:22 UTC  

And the cycle will continue until markets spring up

2018-06-30 01:54:36 UTC  

I would posit that people who work harder, want to work harder because they take pride in their work and want to se it done to its highest potential. "I work hard and am the best because I enjoy what I do" vs "I work hard and am the best because I want more things". The latter thought makes sense in a system that rewards the behavior like capitalism, but the former is what works in an anarchist federation. Work is not a means to an end, it is an end. Work becomes something you enjoy doing, not something of a chore.

2018-06-30 01:54:53 UTC  

Farmers would be people who like farming, coders would be people who like coding, etc.

2018-06-30 01:55:17 UTC  

Volunteer-commune positions would be available for specific jobs.

>literal anarchist scum

2018-06-30 07:01:09 UTC  

you can have a person take pride in work

2018-06-30 07:01:34 UTC  

especially by producing a culture/society that values discipline and honor

2018-06-30 07:01:41 UTC  

like the japanese or germans

2018-06-30 07:02:12 UTC  

even americans, no matter how lazy people may try to put us off as we are a nation of workaholics

2018-06-30 07:02:26 UTC  

you wont find such principles in anarchy

2018-06-30 07:03:41 UTC  

you can stimulate talent and professionalism by promoting a meritocracy in which higher level positions recieve more expenses for standard of living and resources

2018-06-30 07:03:48 UTC  

anyways

2018-06-30 07:03:53 UTC
