things i'm grateful to marxism for:
• points out that working hours are *not* a quantity that equilibriates under supply and demand, but does some other weird thing
• telling me (correctly) that a 9-5 job is a very unnatural state for a human being to be in, and that a very big effort had to be exerted to bring it about & maintain it (school)
• primitive accumulation and expropriation of the commons was real and important in the development of industrial societ
@sophon
they all feel kinda connected
primitive accumulation → break humans to have uniform working hours → keep that inflexibility
(this might be the rare occasion where i might accept "class warfare" as an explanation!)
@niplav points 1 and 2 seem connected
