marbleflakes said: Under a communist/ecosocialist/really any left-wing economic structure, any improvements in a product or service that reduces the amount you need to make, or reduces the time in which it takes to manufacture, is more time you get to spend not working. Do you wanna work 30 hours making these things? Cool! That means someone who wants to devote their entire time to developing entertainment for you when you get home doesn’t have to interrupt that work anymore. Win/Win.

marbleflakes said: The more durable and functional you can make a product, the less you have to make it, the fewer hours we have to spend a week making the product, which would be passed down to the worker instead of up to the CEO. Instead of making sure that everyone has to buy a new washer and dryer every 10 years, you make one that people almost never have to replace. Same with cars. Same with electronics. You wouldn’t have to gather as many materials, or as much time remaking product.

marbleflakes said: If people are wondering where the numbers come from, think about all the redundant and pointless jobs that would be eliminated once capitalism is gone. The entire insurance industry would be gone. Large swathes of manufacturing making identical products with different labels, gone. Finance sector, gone. Wasteful R&D on competing products instead of just everyone working to make the single best product they can, that’s gone too. Planned obsolescence? Gone.
