Tom summarized, "The priority Marx gave to reduction of the working day as a prerequisite results, in my view, from the premise that the scientific and artistic capabilities for that humanization [of labor] develop in disposable time, which is to say outside of the social domination inherent in wage labour."
Which is realistic: A) while labor is still wage labor, working hours are reduced, workers develop scientific and artistic capabilities, and somehow because of those new capabilities, capitalists humanize wage labor, or B) workers overthrow capitalism, immediately end forced overtime and set a viable work week, and embark on humanizing work step by step? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
