  • Yeah division of labor and economy of scale could actually be leaned into a lot harder in an economy without profit and exploitation, all while avoiding many of the negative experiences and connotations we have under capitalism.

    Like there’s nothing inherently demeaning or problematic about cleaning houses or serving food, it’s just that our current system relies on the existence of an underclass of people effectively forced into the jobs and paid less than the cost of their social reproduction. And the otherization that takes place to create and reinforce that class, as well as a result of its existence, is dehumanizing.

    But I really wouldn’t mind working at like a pizzeria or cleaning service if the jobs didn’t entail poverty and dehumanization.
