i know my claim sounds confrontative, of course we should provide people with access to our abundand resources and some people are mentally or physically unable to work - you can't expect them to provide something to society as they rely on us to survive.
but everyone who's able should provide something.
no the abundance doesn't come from 40-80hr wage slavery done by billions.
BUT the abundance comes from actual work done by billions.
look i think i am just bad with words. i agree. i don't consider work as "beating hammers for 5hrs" but as contributing something. labour is labour. open source devs do work, scientists do work, mothers do work. everything is work in some form, as long as it contributes to society.
the 40hrs are an arbitrary time window while a lot of people only use a fraction of this time productively.
