    The main thing that is overlooked is that people who don’t work still contribute to society in ways that don’t align with capitalism. Not all art needs to be bought and sold. A ton of care is provided for free instead of through a job. A community cleaning up a common space without exchanging money is still contributing to society.

    I wouldn’t even consider a lot of things that do align with capitalism to be contributing to society. Most advertising for example.

      Damn straight. I’m an artist and I don’t sell my art cause I don’t like having a transactional relationship with someone.
