    And precisely how will you achieve the minimum standard of sustaining human life … trivial things like food and lodging?

      It doesn’t say refuse work. It says refuse the concept that a person’s worth is linked to how much or what type of work they perform.

      Worth as in human worth, not monetary value. Social standing, respect, etc

        No thanks, people who contribute more to society should be recognised for their efforts.

        I’m all for improving the recognition and reward of teachers, nurses, paramedics and other essential services that are typically not as well respected or remunerated.

          Yep, how ever the kangaroo court that is lemmy has ruled that despite your work ethics and day in day out efforts to be a contributor to society. You are worth the same as the crack head who stole your rose trellis for scrap metal last summer.

            Capitalism rewards one group. People who generate large amounts of money as quickly as possible, regardless of the affect their actions have on any person or group of people who aren’t exceptionally wealthy.

              Sure, and if you look a bit beyond that you’ll notice that the class that does this is the capitalist class, who recieve their vast plunder not through labor, but ownership of capital.

                Don’t people who work harder deserve more pay? I’m not saying capitalists work hard. I just mean does a full time worker doing the same job as a part time worker deserve more wealth than the part time worker?
