Thought Of The Day: Work In Capitalist Society

Work in capitalist society is not a virtue nor is it liberating. It is true that it is necessary to survive in this capitalist world, and work does have occasional moments of hilarity, but the nature of capitalism gives us no choice. In this context of lack of choice, work under capitalism is economic bondage. It is an obligation for us, the working class, as opposed to the idle ruling classes. Having said that, it is nice to finish work, get your pay, and go home to spoon with your partner.
