The idea that selling your labor is the path to “empowerment” makes me want to punch things

I’m not in sex work, so the only thing I’m going to say on this is this:

• I…

Well I believe humans are naturally industrious, I would continue to work even if I didn’t have to because idleness depresses and bores people, I believe laziness is a state created by a situation where work is coerced and leisure scarce, I also believe that with full employment and the elimination of the parasitic management and capitalist classes we’d all have to work much less to produce the same amount of stuff, even now the average American spends only three hours of their work day actually working, imagine how much we could get done with everyone able to contribute contributing.

Also eventually: Robots.

And if ALL else fails, I’m certain that democratically, collectively, we as a people can come up with some fair way to split up the unpleasant but necessary labor. Literally anything would be better than our current system, where a few super-exploited wage slaves work interminable hours so the rest of us can relax.

I’m also pretty certain we can speed up inventing self cleaning toilets, but yeah, like a societal chore wheel
