Erik L. Midtsveen 🏴🏳️🌈<p>What I'm saying is that in this system, if you don't sell your labor, you don't get to live. It's that simple and that brutal.</p><p>Think about it: you have to sell your labor just to meet your basic needs. Food, shelter, clothing, all of it depends on you trading away your time and energy. It's not about thriving or pursuing your passions. It's about survival.</p><p>Work isn't just a part of life, it's the price of existence. Your labor power becomes a commodity, something to be bought and sold on the market. And if you can't sell it? Well, then you're out of luck.</p><p>This system reduces us to nothing more than our capacity to work. It's dehumanizing. It's exploitative. And yeah, it's fucked up.</p><p>The worst part? We're made to believe this is normal, that it's just how things are. But it doesn't have to be this way. There could be a world where our worth isn't determined by how much labor we can sell, where our basic needs are met without this constant struggle.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Syndicalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syndicalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/AnarchoSyneicalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnarchoSyneicalism</span></a></p>
