Not everyone has to contribute to make a society functional. From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.
You're being exceptionally ableist.
I'm saying it isn't measured quantitatively.
I just double-checked, and Old Reddit search only shows posts.
Old Reddit doesn't search comments. 🤦
You can't replace a close friend with some random person. Individuals have value in them regardless of their ability to do labour, and they are not replaceable as individuals.
It's really sad how much buy-in there is to the dehumanization of people here.
All individuals are irreplaceable.
But people who cannot do those things are not "valuelesss." That is ableist and still informed by the Protestant Work Ethic. People can still have value even if they can't do labour.
People do work in non-capitalist situations for the betterment of the community. The value is not measured by metrics, but by how fulfilled people feel by it.
And to quote /u/anachronic: "Simple living is a state of mind, not a zip code."
Multiple people have reported 429 errors.
I'm not using one.
Exactly. Far too many people misinterpreted this on /r/antiwork as well — they were never saying that everyone should sit around waiting on someone else to provide everyone for them; they were talking about ending the capitalist work paradigm.
Many people here have never read a shred of political theory, and it shows. People should start here. It explains just how much of the work we do under capitalism is unnecessary for the wellbeing of society, and only serves to enrich the capitalist class. It is very possible for us all to do less work, have more leisure, and still have plenty for everyone.
