In our civilized societies we are rich. Why then are the many poor? Why this painful drudgery for the masses? Why, even to the best-paid workman, this uncertainty for the morrow, in the midst of all the wealth inherited from the past, and in spite of the powerful means of production, which could ensure comfort to all, in return for a few hours daily toil? - Peter Kropotkin (1892)
IMO this is giving too much credit to the bad faith argument. Anyone saying "oh you lazy socialist you just don't want to work" is either incredibly ignorant, or more likely deliberately trolling.
It isn't usually bad faith imo. They just genuinely can't conceive of a world with a less coercive system of work. I'd say it is ~~in~~credibly ignorant. It's hard even for leftists to envision the specifics of such a system - why would it be any easier for people who've never even considered an alternative? So they just think, naively, that without the threat of systemic violence jobs wouldn't get done
It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.
