    Under capitalism workers have to put up with jobs that makes them miserable. Otherwise they will become unemployed and even more miserable.

    This is the best, most efficient and most rational economic system ever.

      In most socialist societies working is also expected… I’d expect automatization to help with that in a true socialist society though. On the other hand, I am not sure that a society without work would function. But a 20h week would defintely be much preferable.

    Turns out what you wanted was financial stability and to not feel like you’d end up on the street. That doesn’t cancel out what should be a very basic expectation of baseline respect from employers and fair pay, though, so here we all are rightly pissed-off.

    Yeah because even doing what you love is hell when you don’t make enough money to thrive or don’t have enough time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
