Everyone knows work is necessary, what isn't necessary is 40+ hours a week so some Capitalist can buy another yacht from exploitation of your labor.

Nobody thinks work is unnecessary, this is a strawman.

I don't doubt that you've worked hard, but I do believe you should own your labor, not some Capitalist.

Again, nobody is suggesting literally zero work. Just restructuring.

More strawmanning, blah blah blah.

No, we don't need corporations owned by a few people, workers can own and run the Means of Production without someone exploiting their labor.

No, this post shows that you're incredibly out of touch with what people are advocating for.
