No one wants to toil.
Work is unavoidable. And if I have a chance to work on my projects and my communities I am left feeling alive, valuable, and fulfilled.
What these bosses and corporations want is for me to do their projects and work on their communities for as little as possible while being dehumanized.
That is toil.
And no one wants to fucking toil anymore. That much, I say, is true.
Yeah, just wanted to say this. In almost all experiments with Universal Basic Income it turns out people don’t wanna scroll Tiktok 24/7 or whatever. Most people want to do thinks that we would call “work”. We just don’t wanna do them in this capitalist hellscape full of meaningless bullshit jobs.
If you adjust the definitions in your mind slightly, and use “work” in place of “toil” and “labor” in place of “work”, then do I ever have a theory of value to talk to you about.
Newspapers, owned by rich people, have been regurgitating the same conservative talking points.
I think you could broaden that out and call them capitalist talking points.
It’s telling how the old quote includes “for wages”
Our society has been dragged so far right that we harldy discuss abolition of the wage system these days.
It’s not an issue about working. Its an issue about working for wages (as opposed to workers owning the means of production and distributing the profits democratically and equally)
take it from me, I’ve worked before and it sucks.
Any idea on any of these sources? It’d be great to be able to point to actual articles dating back more than a century when having a conversation/debate/argument about the “nobody wants to work” narrative
Thanks! Wow Snopes is thorough!
This is legit amazing. Thank you
Nobody wants to work, they just have to in order to survive.
Nobody wants to work … for the peanuts we’re offering.
Nobody on this Com wants to work anymore, they just keep posting the same stuff. This is image is recycled fodder that keeps showing up in my feed. Work on your posts at least people!
Nobody wants to post anymore. We used to have big posters. Huge posters—the biggest posters, many people are saying it!

work is important for society to function but it shouldn’t be maximized at the expense of quality of life
