    Meh, there’s no world where people are going to actually enjoy doing tedious, repetitive tasks even if they fully own their surplus labor. This was always my beef with the antiwork subreddit. “Socialism is when nobody digs ditches.”

    There will always be shitty jobs until we fully automate society. The guy doing hard labor in the hot sun is always going to resent the guy working in AC even if they both own their surplus labor. This is why socialism is still just harm reduction on the path to achieving a post scarcity, post labor society.
