would the popular conception of mondays, ie. the start of an oppressive five day work week still exist if capitalism is abolished?
I guess it depends on what alternatives are sprung up in its place.
I can only speak for myself that i am very motivated to work for the sake of growing humanity as long as my primary needs are unconditionally met.
The work week would be gone for me and personal/work projects would blend more into one. There will be weeks where i am working around the clock to Finnish a project because i am passionate about them. And weeks where i just lay in bed because i feel off.
Each according to their needs and abilities. The best coworker is a motivated and mentally healthy one.
If capitalism is abolished, we're most likely going to be forced back to Feudalism. Mondays in Feudalism last 12+ hours and the work week continues until Saturday night.
