Alienation of labour, what's that?
Doing excel for 9 hours straight is far better than breathing toxic gases inside a damp,badly lit coal mines tho. Juste saying...
Yes of course and eating trash is better than eating shit
What I mean is that work conditions have vastly improved compared to the last century (thanks to unions). It may be miserable yes but it's a far cry from the horrible work that our ancestors were forced to endure starting from a young age.
I get what you mean. Ofc class struggle has brought us many concessions, technology progresses over time and the industrialized countries add more and more abstraction layers to manual work.
My point would be that we do have to view the working conditions relative to what's possible at the given time. Given the resources humanity has today, fully automated luxury (queer) space communism is within realistic reach!
It's a similar answer as to world hunger: it's a systematic distribution - not resource - problem. That being artificially created scarcity thanks to a profit and greed driven economic base (capitalism) and inequitable/inefficient allocation of resources (markets)
I can only agree
Is it tho?
Depends on the trash. Depends on the shit.
Give it time. Those work conditions are getting gradually worse all over again as the internal contradictions intensify.
I suppose that is the 3 largest domino.
