Obviously the problem is still relying on transactional society when we have the capability to become a post scarcity society.

We have lazy bums now under capitalism. We'd have lazy bums under socialism too, but they wouldn't be an easy mark for the ultra rich to distract the working class with. They'd be free to pursue their interests.

"Lazy bums"

Did you know a typical "hunter gatherer" worked about 20 hours a week, with the rest of the time for fucking, eating, and talking bullshit?

Even peasants in much of medieval Europe had it better. They used to get months off every year, just sat out winter.

We weren't evolved to work 80 hours a week for our lifetime. It's fucked

just to clarify, "lazy bums" doesn't apply to the guy making $4000/s while wiping his ass and furiously posting on twitter?
