[QUOTE="Whither, post: 4357525, member: 76643"] My disdain for wage labor is not disdain for labor itself. The problem is not that we must exert ourselves to survive. The problem is we have become dependents of an inhuman system. We exert ourselves for ends (and via means) not established by us and our efforts are exploited through and through. I'm no fan of automation. I agree with the notion that humans use tools, and machines use humans. I wouldn't claim to know the path to a world beyond wage labor. But I do think, perhaps nostalgically, that it has to depend on workers fighting and scrapping for as much as they can, and then fighting and scrapping for even more to the point of bankrupting the system ... of course, were this successful, we would certainly be faced with new, existential problems. ;) [/QUOTE]
