  • I think for conversations like this its important to talk about what words like job, work and labor mean for each of us.

    I would prefer not having a job. A job to me is a when sell my time to someone and perform tasks they give me. I dont like that.

    I would prefer not having to work. To me working means performing at a job.

    I want to do labor, but preferably in a way that benefits my community, the world and me. I want to do labor based on my abilitiy and I want it to be organized by me and my peers. I also want to witness the direct impact of doing my labor instead of abstract things like “company profits go up”.

    Other people use the words job, work an labor differently. That is okay, but it can lead to misunderstandings.
