    Exactly. What really bugs me about lefty/antiwork sentiment lately is that it increasingly seems to be built upon and pushing fundamentally flawed black/white style concepts with unrealistic demands that don’t understand the nuances of the world we live in.

    This is antithetical to progress, it alienates many supporters and breeds politically useless extremism.

      “lately”? This is foundational to the entirety of left wing thought.

      The left starts at abolition of capitalism and by extension corporate profit. If you disagree with that, you’re simply not left wing in any way, you would be better off in right wing or far right sites like reddit or Facebook. They’re their product of your beliefs, stick to them.

        Profit shouldn’t exist, period. Get yourself a salary there Executive man and stop playing god. There is one singular reason to care about profit, and thats to get on the stock exchange to start living like an American Sultan. Profit should not exist, that money should go back to the workers and society, not into the coffer tombs of self proclaimed giants.

          The world doesn’t work the way you want it to, and it never will, simply because people are too selfish. If it ever happens, it will be because we’ve transcended humanity and become something else.
