do you think it feeds into anti communist ideas? how many people are ”afraid” of factories but not afraid to consume the fruits of such work (basically everything around us)?
How much of it is a result of deindustrialization? Industrial environments and the machines inside them are no longer familiar to most Americans.
I feel like the fear surrounding industrial work has to do with the horrible workplace conditions rather than the factories themselves.
As for whether or not it feeds into anticommunist ideas, idk; these horrific conditions only really happen under capitalism, I imagine in places like China there might be a lot of strict rules and regulations for safety to prevent this kinda thing from happening (or at least as much as possible). It probably isn't 100% perfect and there are probably still risks to working in a factory (as well as some companies not totally following the book, leading to accidents) but I don't see it being any more worse than anything under capitalism.
interestingly my grandparents who lived in a socialist state worked in a factory and they brought their child (my mom) around a lot and i myself visited my moms workplace a lot so the industry part of things never seemed horrifying to me.
i think that this type of fear feeds into anti communist ideas because many people associate the socialist states with factory work
I think that's a fair call, without really hearing from anyone who has the experience. I'm glad China banned 996.
Reminds me of the movie, Brazil (1985 film).
