    Having to work to survive is the default state of nature, unless you are a baby or an elder. It doesn’t mean you’re oppressed.

      What about our modern world makes you think humanity exsists in a default state of nature?

        We don’t live in a post-scarcity society, so the rules of nature still apply. People need food, water, shelter, energy and someone has to work to provide those things.

          My fellow Lemmy user, we dont live in a post-scarity world because profits matter more than people in our Capitalist Society. We could live in a post-scarity world, but that would come at the cost of profits for the 1% who do effectively zero work.

            We literally destroy food in this country instead of giving it to people who have nothing. The “scarcity” is entirely manufactured.
