No one wants to toil.
Work is unavoidable. And if I have a chance to work on my projects and my communities I am left feeling alive, valuable, and fulfilled.
What these bosses and corporations want is for me to do their projects and work on their communities for as little as possible while being dehumanized.
That is toil.
And no one wants to fucking toil anymore. That much, I say, is true.
If you adjust the definitions in your mind slightly, and use "work" in place of "toil" and "labor" in place of "work", then do I ever have a theory of value to talk to you about.
