> What the hell is the talk of "human worth" supposed to even mean. If you can't even feed yourself, you're a fucking joke. Work is just doing something for someone else they like. What is the argument here. "I should be free to be completely parasitic and useless, anything less is tyranny." So we should round up and discard all of the disabled, sick, elderly and children? Purposefully missing your point for fun - I know you don't believe that, right? IMO, the conclusion you quoted isn't arguing that people shouldn't work at all. It's arguing about the very definition of "work" in capitalism. Why are certain things which take a great deal of time and effort not considered work? Why are some types of work not valued when they clearly provide value? Of course the answer is the recipient of the value needs to have money. If they don't have money, they are immoral for not having money and unworthy of receiving the value. Using your definition: > Work is just doing something for someone else they like. Let's rewrite it to be more accurate: > Work is just doing something for someone else <who has money> they like.
