    So, you’re saying that the fundamental reason why people will always work is because a few rich bastards want it that way?

    Sounds like a problem that has been solved many times in the past, never permanently so far but it never hurts to try again.

      I was only saying that under capitalism, the system requires people be separated from the resources we need to survive and forced to work, so we should at a minimum replace that with something better.

      But i do agree that as long as some people control access to what we need to survive, those people they will use that control to extract value from the rest of us

      I think it’s only been solved a few times in the past, and usually that happens capitalists & authoritarian “communists” did a lot of work to prevent it spreading.
