There's work for those who want it

Or perhaps it should say:

"There's work for those who should want it"

Obviously traditionally Feudal society is split into a "Working Class" and "Aristocrats." Aristocrats not only don't want work, they should not work.

Now as the Feudal system has collapsed, and the Worker have won the battle, and in so doing rejected the Aristocracy and everything about them. This means that the workers have rejected the idea of "not working" and now celebrate their working class status.

But this is basically economic Nietzsche and Hegel. Actually the Aristocracy were the truth, and they enslaved the population to work for them. But the Slaves have now over powered the Masters and reject the masters ways, which means the Workers are now enslaved by non existent Masters!

How often does this happen in psychology. We used to enjoy walks, but you have annoyed me and so I now hate you and walks. Even after you are dead I will still hate walks cos it reminds me of you. Or the Ego version. I loved music and wanted to be a singer, but I stood on stage to try and sing and people laughed. I was humiliated and no hate singing and music. Even after the humiliation is gone its memory keeps me away from music. So even after the Aristocracy has gone and no one is forcing us to work, we still hate the free life cos it reminds us for our slavery.

Now there is another twist to this. Cos today under Capitalism there are still plenty of Aristocrats, people with enough money that no one in their family for generations will ever need to work, and with it invested their families will never need to work again. But the hatred for the Aristocrat system means that under Capitalism Aristocrats must pretend to "go to work." People like Elon Musk are Kings, but they "go to work" to avoid the the label of Aristocrat. Even the Royal Family here in UK pretends to be "working royals."

The collapse of the Feudal system has achieve little other than remove the Aristocrats who were the free people, and commit the slaves to an eternal slavery.

Nietzsche uses this argument to explain the self-mortifying nature of ascetism and morality. But I realise its equally applicable to economics.

I don't actually know my Marx very well, but it seems that Marxism is based upon the concept of Work and even Communism is built upon productivity and work.

In actual fact Work is just part of the Feudal Dialectic. Work exists in opposition to Leisure. When we transcend this state then both Work and Leisure will sublimate into something new.
