This was a really interesting conversation. I wonder if anybody at D@W would be interested in interviewing anthropologist David Graeber.

Do you want disposable people, or do you want disposable time? -- Cindi Katz 23:23

I'm a Sudanese.Dr.Katz said that the kids that she put under her study didn't go to cities as lumpen workers. but now Khartoum population is booming in the last 10 -20 years. At lease between 10-40% of Sudan population now are living in cities. Many rural areas now are completely empty of population.

are there any anti capitalist writers in Sudan?

The problem with continually decreasing the work day under capitalism still leaves the problem of the declining rate of profit

[@lizzyfrizzle8986]

I really liked it except for the reformist turn at the end

It's up to you to make time for yourself no one can do that for you.. one of the ways is user or try alternative living I use alternative living I look small and simple which allows me not more freedom and a lot less work instead of working three jobs just to pay rent which most people are doing today.. but it is a choice which most people willingly do..

[@skapunkoialternativeliving6522]

I think at the end of the day whether you're a socialist or capitalist or communist all three systems do kind of work but they all fail as well... capitalism is the last system right now that is good but that too is failing just look around you...

Silly liberals LOL

[@clarestucki5151]

Katz is ridiculous. Most Americans LIKE to work LIKE to be productive. Of course cutting the standard work week would equate to more leisure time, but Americans evidently are not seeking more leisure time. Lots of Americans don't even use all their earned vacation time.

[@jordanwardan7588]

vacation time was all the time (for Europeans) until like 1910
