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.

I…suppose there’s not really much I can say in response to that.  I’d only hope that there would be enough people wanting to do the work that needed to get done in the time it would take to create said robots—sanitation, agriculture, clothes making, food production, construction, maintenance.  I’m sure there are others that are getting left out.

I think people would want to pitch in, we’re social creatures, contributing and helping one another is a part of our wiring, we feel bad watching others work while we don’t (if we’re not really really alienated and distancing ourselves and dehumanizing those doing the work) and no one wants society to collapse so I believe people will contribute as best they can, in whatever sectors they are needed.
