I don't get this argument because a paycheck isn't necessary for the system to "work" either. Serfdom and slavery "worked" for hundreds of years.

- krapp 5mo agoWe don't live under serfdom or slavery, we live under capitalism. Under capitalism, in the world in which most people live, paychecks are necessary because the labor class has to pay rent on their survival, but only so long as humans are necessary to create value. No part of that requires the humans to enjoy what they're doing any more than draft animals are required to enjoy plowing or pulling loads.
