It doesn't say refuse work. It says refuse the concept that a person's worth is linked to how much or what type of work they perform.
Worth as in human worth, not monetary value. Social standing, respect, etc
No thanks, people who contribute more to society should be recognised for their efforts.
I’m all for improving the recognition and reward of teachers, nurses, paramedics and other essential services that are typically not as well respected or remunerated.
Sure, but capitalism rewards the most the people that do the least.
Capitalism rewards one group. People who generate large amounts of money as quickly as possible, regardless of the affect their actions have on any person or group of people who aren't exceptionally wealthy.
Sure, and if you look a bit beyond that you'll notice that the class that does this is the capitalist class, who recieve their vast plunder not through labor, but ownership of capital.
Don't people who work harder deserve more pay? I'm not saying capitalists work hard. I just mean does a full time worker doing the same job as a part time worker deserve more wealth than the part time worker?
Eventually the goal is to work as people want to to satisfy everyone's needs, but between now and whenever that's achieved, people will likely continue to get paid more for more intense or moe trained labor. My point is that the variance between wages and the amount capitalists rake in is astronomical.
Of cause capitalists make way more than they deserve. A lot of people are not currently happy with the idea of being payed based on there needs and feel like they put in a lot of work and therefore deserve more pay, how do we encourage these people to become socialist?
Socialism doesn't dictate that everyone gets paid the same. That's why I said between communism and capitalism is the transitional stage of socialism where people are paid based on their work, while we try to orient society in a manner fovused on satisfying everyone's needs. Through existing in socialism, proletarian consciousness is also developed.
it doesn't matter how much you stan him, elon musk is never gonna fuck you, dudebro.
Be my guest and go through my post history to find a single positive comment about Musk.
I’d say it would waste your time but as an anarchist wasting time is about the only thing you’re capable of.
idk about that, I'm obviously capable of making you waste your time, you weirdo.
Wrong, lazy and spouting nonsense, classic anarchist behaviour.
lmao you're so mad
Lol stay poor bozo
you do the same, simp.
Yeah man Elon Musk really contributes to society
Yep, how ever the kangaroo court that is lemmy has ruled that despite your work ethics and day in day out efforts to be a contributor to society. You are worth the same as the crack head who stole your rose trellis for scrap metal last summer.
Their boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes them cheer
