I stg no post baffles/pisses me off like this one. The POINT of "I do not dream of labour" is that one doesn't DREAM OF IT. which is a completely separate concept from BEING WILLING TO PROVIDE IT under reasonable conditions. Like what's this person's fucking deal do they hear "I don't actively want to sweep the streets" and hear "I think proles to grovel in the streets for the sake of my leisure"?? And "which makes you indistinguishable from any bourgeois capitalist" DOES IT????? I thought we despised those people for feeling entitled to the fruits of others' labour but I guess it's actually for something as immaterial as a lack of active wish to do that labour
Like do they not comprehend that it is possible for someone to both acknowledge the need for doing something, even do it willingly - or be willing to do it if need be - and yet not dream of it??? "You do not dream of labour but you do dream of living well" YEAH THAT'S KIND OF THE POINT OF A DREAM. AN IDEAL SITUATION, REALISTIC OR NO. and why wouldn't you dream of a world where comfortable life can exist without the necessity for human labour? Is it not a completely desirable, if unachievable goal? Should we not let this ideal guide us to create societies where as high a standard of life as possible can be achieved with as little human labour as possible? So that people can devote themselves to pursuits they find fulfilling with as much ease and freedom as possible? Jesus
