    It’s almost as the good old real work where you produce goods and services has been forgotten. I mean since a long time, but it worked out okay because people still worked and ofset the bullshit jobs (office, lots in finances, rich parasites etc), maybe we’re at the cusp of something new?

      Personally I think we’re about to get another reminder that Marx was right. But we’ll see.

        People will try to push the old stuff that didn’t work like communism etc. I hope there will be something new, like take the best of the known systems sort of thing. One can dream eh ☺️

          Oh I’m not even talking about him regarding communism. I’m referring to Marx’es most significant work - the analysis of the workings of the capitalist system. He (they) created that work (Das Kapital and related works) in the mid-1800s. I’m reading and it describes in striking accuracy what’s happening around us today, often with uncanny predictive ability.
