I realized a while ago that I didn’t even enjoy the time when I wasn’t doing the thing because I was dreading the thing or its consequences of not doing it the entire time, so I’ve been practicing just telling my procrastinating brain to shut the fuck up and go do it and it’s sort of been working.

Is this a ‘how can we do complex production without capitalism’ question or a ‘how can we motivate people to do work without capitalism’ question?

Former: Catalonia ran entire industries while at war. Something needs doing and it isn’t getting done? Volunteer, find people to help you, etc.

Latter: I dunno, ask your mom how she cleaned and fed you for decades without financial compensation.

Bonus: a significant portion of drug research at least in the US is (or was anyway) funded by the US government, so capitalists aren’t exactly doing all the work themselves.

Yeah, what’s a little authoritarianism between friends?
