In our civilized societies we are rich. Why then are the many poor? Why this painful drudgery for the masses? Why, even to the best-paid workman, this uncertainty for the morrow, in the midst of all the wealth inherited from the past, and in spite of the powerful means of production, which could ensure comfort to all, in return for a few hours daily toil? - Peter Kropotkin (1892)

Having lived in subsistence farming communities, this is such an ignorant rich bitch take.
Food doesn't just show up at your house. Someone somewhere has to engage in agriculture to get you that food you want to eat. Someone has to wait around for rains. Someone has to till the earth to get the food you eat. You don't deserve free food any more than a farmer does who had to grow it from the soil.
Not sure what this has to do with arguing against capitalist exploitation of labor. The person tilling the soil to grow food has more aligned interests with the office worker than the owners.
Because the OP doesn't mention it. Spending hours of your life to survive is necessary, even with modern mass production.
That was the subtext I picked up.
