I feel like there’d be empty shelves if farmers dedicated themselves to being rid of “internalized capitalism”.

Farmerglazing, here? Makes me sick how far we done fell
>The Stakhanovite movement[a] was a mass cultural movement for workers established by the Communist Party in the 1930s Soviet Union. Its promoters encouraged the rationalization of workplace processes—i.e., increased production goals—while promoting socialist emulation.
>The Stakhanovites[b] modeled themselves after the mythic productivity of the Russian coal miner Alexei Stakhanov. As frontline workers they took pride in their aspirations to work harder and more efficiently than was required by ad hoc norms; thereby they saw themselves as contributing to the common good and strengthening the socialist state. The Party started the ‘movement’ in the coal industry and then applied it to other industries across the Soviet Union. Initially popular, it eventually encountered resistance as the pressures for greater productivity placed increased and unrealistic demands on workers.
Edit: Leftists only adopt this “capitalism is when work hard/communism is when work-life balance” stance as either a rhetorical convenience or out of genuine ignorance.
Its funny because all of these *can* be very unhealthy for sure. Work-life *balance* is important
Agriculture is one of the most subsidized industries there is. On both ends: paying the corporate farmers to grow and paying consumers to buy (eg, SNAP). They drink their capitalist tea with a spoonful of socialized sugar.
Why wouldn’t a worker feel guilty regardless, someone needs their production in any society.
People viewing debt as a moral issue are not capitalists. A capital economy needs debt to function. It’s literally trust other people are giving you that you are making a good investment. Without proper debt markets, you get loan sharks.
If they shoved hundreds of billions in subsidies to the Taylor Lorenz fake illness archetype of women like they do to farmers, this would apply.
I have a lot of sympathy in general for white collar workers in non-licensed industries who are more or less viewed as government piggy banks while the american government does not feel the need to protect their interests.
Right, because I’m sure there would be no pressure to maintain unhealthy productivity in a socialist society. I love having to explain to my coworkers why their dividends were smaller this year, knowing I just so happen to have not met any of my KPIs at the same time.
