    Yeah, I'm sure those workers in the slaughterhouses and coal mines will be happy to work there once they're un-alienated.

    No. What I'm saying is that I haven't seen it work in reality. I can imagine a society where it might work. I can imagine anything. That doesn't mean it's attainable.

    The capitalism hellscape that is Japan has the children cleaning their schools to teach them autonomy and mutual respect. You can easily organize a company like that with correct education.

    And Japan is an example of a society that functions without coercion?

    I think I made clear that Japan is not an example of society when I said "capitalism hellscape that is Japan". But it's a real life society that made something like Pissed proposed work.

    If you call education coercion that is a you problem.

    That's the whole point really, the people who start the company will gladly work 6 days a week and stay up late at night if they have to, and travel through different time zones. Which is fine if they enjoy it, but in an ordinary job for minimum wage I'm not going to act with that amount of loyalty to the company lmao. I'll just resign if they pay me minimum and want me to attend meetings and pretend I'm some kind of executive. When I worked with timber they wanted me to meet suppliers to gain product knowledge but it never proved useful in my 5 months. It just took me away from customers or delayed my lunch break even further.
