And if one does not? What if, like Žižek said, duty to enjoy is the primary duty in capitalism because it legitimizes the system? Or as he suggests in his commentary to Revolution at the Gates (an anthology of Lenin's writings), unhappiness is the primary and fundamental revolutionary condition, making it the ultimate blasphemy against capitalism which must look for any other cause than capitalism itself, and handle it as a sin to be dealt with through the secular father confessor.

I learned to enjoy labor for labors's sake late in life. I wish I had learned it earlier, I would have been way, way more successful. I never knew I was actually competent at anything but whoa, buddy, I am. Scarily component. I would be capitalism's best friend though I don't really care for capitalism's effect of society as a whole.

I have a feeling I'm missing your point, though.

Zizek is often a very loosey goosey guy. Let's think about this for a moment.
>What if, like Žižek said, duty to enjoy is the primary duty in capitalism because it legitimizes the system?
What is he even saying here. A duty to enjoy? Were is that? I have never seen anybody talk about this duty. Is he talking about the pursuit of happiness in The Decaration of Independence. Maybe he should've been more specific and clarified what he was talking about. Currently in the text I have no idea what kind of duty he is talking about. How can something be a duty if we naturally want to be happy? Is he implying that every duty that legitimizes the system is the primary duty in it? This implies the existence of secondary duties. Why doesn't he expound on the general duties of capitalism and show how they arise? ANSWER ME YOU SNIFFLING BASTARD WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT.

Then to break it down, he takes "enjoy" specifically from the slogan "Enjoy Coca-Cola" and notes it is an imperative, also it's tangential with the favorite term in French philosophy, "jouissance" which is distinct from "plaisir". He also writes in the Sublime Object of Ideology on his research in therapy and finds that one of the biggest sources of guilt people have is enjoying when they shouldn't (almost always something like feeling happy about feigning illness to skip work), or NOT enjoying when they should with things like sex or festivities or gifts or even shopping.

And the very way clinical psychology is structured literally posits unhappiness as the criterion for illness. If a way of thinking makes someone unhappy then it can be regarded as a malady, whereas if it doesn't then it cannot be (unless it makes them harm others). So as Foucault noted, in filling the void of confession, psychotherapy needs its own harmartiology; that harmartiology is structured around unhappiness. Furthermore, ideology (ways of thinking that make the prole or pleb not identify his interests with those of his class) is closely linked with happiness, one might say happiness is the fuel of ideology, e.g. we have a cup of coffee in a coffee shop which we are impelled to enjoy, I think Starbucks even draws smilies and writes aspirational personal messages on their cups--they do this in bulk, by the way, not for each customer--so we feel very positive and happy about our consumption. As we consume our coffee we also consume ideology: we are not a pleb or a prole but a man enjoying his coffee in a coffeehouse with all the ideas associated with that image. These are actually jobs, or rather "duties", in capitalism. Capitalism does away with all duty in the traditional sense because they represented obligations to a different ruling class. The ruling class today, the capitalist class, has their own duties.

You can just google labor alienation, the AI summary gives a good overview. The crux is that economic production requires two things, labor and nature (nature here is a process like labor, not matter). Labor is never performed by an individual, it is a joint-effort that involves participation even from those who have been dead for a thousand years, from countless people. Humanity is extremely unique in that we are a superorganism, like termites or ants, and unlike other primates, but our complexity created a new emergent phenomenon: the individual, a being built from language and culture and society. But under capitalism, the individual is taken to proceed all else, and his labor is not regarded as a unified process of society and time and nature, but as a thing. Value itself is turned into a commodity which alienates his being from its source, like tearing a plant violently from its soil. He becomes a part-time robot, and because there is no such thing as a part-time man, his humanity is constantly harmed causing him mental anguish and a sense of nihilism and loneliness, and the only way he can ever feel at home is by adopting bourgeois cynicism which preaches he must never think in terms of a class and only in terms of his individualism

https://youtu.be/keXB9DuhaH0

Or he will have to adopt bourgeois pessimism which teaches that the misery inflicted on him is sad but just how existence inherently is and can't be helped

Checked and thank you for the info. I'll be reading about this for the rest of the day, I'm sure. Maybe I'll have a more defined opinion by tonight. If the thread is still up, I'll swing by and discuss it with you. I have a milquetoast intellect but it's rapacious sometimes. I think so, anyway.
>>
>>25205810
Camus sort of chose to latch on to the myth of literal hell as pure labor alienation, as his metaphor for existence. It is very unwise, even apart from the bourgeois individualism. Nevertheless the issue isn't Camus so much as the role Camus now plays in capitalism, which you dislike the examination of.

one of the main reasons why "one must imagine sisyphus happy" is because he himself rebelled against the gods, risking their punishment and cheating death for a chance to live life on his own terms. At least read the fucking essay if you're going to talk shit, it's like 100 pages.
>>
>>25205819
True but I'm very neurodivergent. It's mostly helped me in life. I wish I had knew it sooner so I could have actually used it to my advantage. Not to Lord over other people but to get ahead, sure. I would be sitting pretty rn if I had just let myself shine. I was so afraid of seemingly like I would overshadow others and it bugged TF out of me. I don't think I'm better then anyone and I will never think that but I have individual traits that would have helped me immensely if I had just let them out. I honestly wish more anons would let that side of themselves poke out sometimes. It works serve them well. None of that fear is helping them. NONE.

Myth of Sisyphus. It's a beautiful essay about confronting and overcoming nihilism in a courageous and intellectually honest way. For some reason wikipedia Marxists like to misunderstand it on purpose just to seethe, believing it's about learning to love wage cucking like the ridiculous OP, when it's about nothing of the sort.
>>
>>25205826
Yes, I know. He status of labor alienation is therefore posited as radical freedom. However I concur with Žižek in that a meaningful individual rebelion to absurdism would be Bartleby the Scrivener, not Sisyphus

>>25205832
Being neurodivergent is a handicap as often as it is a boon to intelligence, and tends to be mythologized for class purposes as a sort of capitalist equivalent to being descended from a god in antiquity, or being descended from William the Conqueror in British aristocracy or from the Mayflower etc. It is some sort of biological-yet-abstract barrier between classes. It has long been the butt of comedy in skits like, "He's crazy." "Oh no, he's loaded." "Ah, sorry, I didn't know, an eccentric millionaire."

Dog loves pulling the sled.
Critics of Aristotle in shambles.
Some love to serve, the most horrid thing you can do is convince such a nature that this selfless longing is unnatural to them. As if there was some universal-particular good of a size that fits all.
>>
>>25205875
Dogs are not humans. Labor alienation rests on the individual, which is not an innate, instinctual biological phenomenon, but an emergent property of society requiring things like language and culture. Dogs have feelings and are capable of mental and physical grief but not of anguish caused by labor alienation.

The extremely obvious truth is, if humans loved doing work, enslaving them would never have been done historical.

Finally, I do not think you have read Aristotle. His idea of a natural slave is a hypothetical that might apply to some humans today but those who would qualify for it would be unemployable. I mean humans who can just use a few words and can't understand language better than dogs can.

Might shock you that in a litter of bred pups there are still outliers that contradict the intent of the breeding, even if the average pup is like their parents.
This relates to male Bell curve reaching both ends of the extremes. Nature will force full expression across a nature. That is: no matter how many centuries of breeding and nurture there will be slaves. There will always be the weakest, even if you levels all humans to be within an inch of each other in height, those on the lower end of that inch will sit on the other side of a chasm of intuited difference and inferiority.
The future child will bully their peers for differences we today couldn't even perceive, like pros in sports still bow to their elite, though for everyone else both are demigods.

Nta but I follow what you're saying. I just thought fungible meant replaceable.
>>
>>25205966
Fungibility is an economic concept crucial to capitalism. On the ine hand, every individual in liberalism is posited as sovereign and unique but also fungible and interchangable. The first is the justification of labor alienation, the second is the process. Capitalists themselves are not fungible, only labor.

Here a capitalist argument was used by examining the way dogs are, and saying it supports capitalism by subtly substituting dog's nature for the individual's nature. But the whole point of the individual as an emergent property in the superorganism of humanity, is that he ISN'T fungible, his consciousness of his individuality and identity have the social function of being able to think unique thoughts and be in unique ways which is what gives society limitless potential. But labor alienation makes him something fungible, and this tension with his being qua individual, makes him feel as if there is friction between his own existence and existence itself

Poker is viable if you have a very strong work ethic to study it, and the capital. Around 6k if you have a job to support yourself with as well, or 6k plus enough for you to live on for a year if you have no other job. You have to study the math a lot and look at your hourly makings annually rather than session by session, because you can go for weeks or more just losing money or hardly making anything and that must be taken into account with months you do very well. If you are making a profit of even eight bucks an hour within the first year, you can consider yourself an outstanding player. If you want to make more than that, it's a lifestyle

This has zero to do with tabula rasa, which is a liberal doctrine used to predicate the fungibility of humanity. This has to do Hegel's ideas which Marx built on: the individual is a dialectical creation. You would not even exist as an identity without the language society made you in

This is a meaningless statement since to find something is a certain way to say decrees x to be the case through fiat. E.g. a court can unilaterally decree someone is doing something even without them being present or charging them with it, by saying, "The court finds x has done y." This does not require the court to find x guilty of y, which is a seperate procedure

>>25207338
I'm not sure why capitalist keep insisting on imposing the capitalist distinction between creativity and labor, onto communism. Snall children do no distinguish between play and work, they will always be excited to help with chores. This is because they have not yet been subject to labor alienation, which us what distinguishes work and play. Once we are introduced to that, work triggers angst, because we dread the alienation it involves. I had a friend who told me ger first thought on waking up for a workday wasn't food or drink or anything but "please kill me." That isn't just "work" that causes that, it's labor alienation

Capitalism allows you to protest and complain all day. The bourgeoisie has been funding professional complainers like Zizek since the 60s. One can argue that capitalism is more succesful than other systems because it allows the masses to throw a fit.

Don't you patronize me, cocksucker. I have actually slaughtered live animals and cleaned up. Not for wages, just to cook with preparing for a wedding. It isn't bleak at all compared to actually doing it for a living, and the whole process is a lot longer than eight hours, including flaying the animals which is the most laborious part. And it was a beautiful experience doing it with friends for a beautiful occassion.

A child wouldn't like doing ANYTHING for eight hours, but sure, ues, hosing down blood from slaughtered animals is something they love when they see adults doing it.

>>25207557
what aspect of it do you want proof of? or is this just one of those low effort trolls to derail a discussion with semantics?

>Alienation has profound political and moral dimensions. Capitalist property relations negate human freedom. For Marx, this negation is rooted in the principle that a person's labour properly belongs to themselves; its expropriation by another is the basis of exploitation and the loss of freedom.[78] Politically, the modern state is an "illusory community", an "abstracted social power" that stands over and against atomised individuals.[79] While formally guaranteeing "equal rights" for all citizens, the state serves to protect private property and thus sanctions a lack of freedom in real terms.[80] Human activity within this framework becomes "forced labour" under the yoke of another.[81] Morally, alienation overturns human values. The system subordinates "being" to "having"; the "sense of having" replaces the full range of human senses.[82] Money becomes the "universal galvano-chemical power of Society", the ultimate mediator that "transforms fidelity into infidelity, love into hate, hate into love, virtue into vice".[83] The supersession of alienation, therefore, requires a radical political project: the "emancipation of the workers" which coincides with "universal human emancipation".[81]

do you disagree with this basic premise that capitalist labor as a system requires economic coercion? do you disagree that this coercion supercedes all other forms of social organization? do you disagree that laborers who see no personal benefit from their labor except "money" are simply prostituting themselves, and just like a prostitute will inevitably end up disillusioned by the coercive system rather than the labor itself? or do you believe that a prostitute's dislike of selling sex isn't intrinsically linked to the act of selling labor? what's the issue that confuses you exactly?

This is just "money is evil man" hippie nonsense
My point is that 'economic coercion' is a loaded term and by definition exists in communism too, you have to work for a society to function and work means menial repetitive and physically demanding tasks. What personal benefit does a cobalt miner see from his labour under communistic that he doesn't from capitalism?
>Well because he's part of some gay coop the work will be fun!
This is what labour alienation boils down to and again there is no evidence at all to support this

>This is just "money is evil man" hippie nonsense

>What personal benefit does a cobalt miner see from his labour under communistic that he doesn't from capitalism?

>This is what labour alienation boils down to and again there is no evidence at all to support this
Marx's theory of labor alienation is not solved simply by ending Capitalism. Socialism and early stages of Communism have labor exploitation too. But as workers develop more agency and power over their labor, they become empowered and gain a sense of self and pride in their work.
It's literally just comparing a guy who is self-employed(in the actual sense and not the corporate "contractor" loophole) vs a guy who works for someone else whom he has no connection to. Would you rather run your own burger shop or work for McDonalds? Would you rather run a burger shop with your friends or work with a bunch of strangers whose only connection to you is having the same employer? Would you rather have a job where your work directly benefits you or a job where your work is only rewarded with a "good job" while Shekelstein reaps the profits? If you're not being disingenuous it's pretty fucking obvious why laborers are miserable under Capitalist labor organization, and it's not because working is inherently miserable.
>>
>>25207671
>But as workers develop more agency and power over their labor, they become empowered and gain a sense of self and pride in their work.
Again this is a massive assumption with no actual evidence to support it

Both of these are possible under capitalism
>it's not because working is inherently miserable.
Unless you're a literal retard or a child (I know you deny the neurological differences between children and adults), a lot of work is just shit and boring to do

>>25207557
Under the current scheme of the basis of value, it is said to derive from an individual (remember, liberalism premises everything on the individual, including its law in the incoherent social compact). But if this were the case, liquidity couldn't possibly exist. We depend on collectivist appraisal of value. But what is value? When society, prior to money or any other considerations, values x above z, what does that mean?

It means x demands more from society to come into existence. But I am not talking about individual's labor, I am talking about the average labor society takes to produce something. Marx is extremely particular to emphasize that the ltv has zero to do with individual labor, it is social average labor. Society does not value based on how hard it is for bob or joe to create something, but based on socially average labor. So value at its core is appraisal of labor. In order to lubricate exchange, we have standardized units of value called money. This is where labor alienation under capitalism begins: labor, value itself, is purchased by money. Value itself is treated as a commodity. Adam Smith showed that even when gold is used as currency, more gold currency doesn't make a country wealthier, is just decreases the worth of gold, be ause gold's value is in how much labor a society requires to obtain it, and when a goldmine puts out thrice its expectation, it just makes the socially required labor less

This forces man into opposition with his labor, which is NOT a commodity, it is his identity and being, or, to use a poetic term, soul. He must labor under the implicit understanding that his being is not his, that what he does with it is someone else's property. This is not about his being qua individual either because labor is a very social activity, even when you are working alone just like if you are reading alone you are relying on society's language and means of communication. This cuts away his sense of participation in society, because that participation is no longer a property of his being

I always feel bad for people who really believe that their preferred meme ideology/political system is going to finally dethrone the elites who specialize in subverting every such system to their ends and make everything copacetic. Never once in human history has this been the case but they just can't let go of the dream.

The thing I don't understand is why do chuds oppose Communism so much when they aren't even bourgeois? if you really think the system will be no different from Capitalism, then what do you have to lose? You're just some poor incel faggot that slaves away for Shekelstein for a below-subsistence wage. Might as well abolish the present state of things if your life is gonna be this miserable forever under Capitalism.

The elites subverted communism, it's called the New Left, yes

I have to ask, do you honestly believe that throughout history the ruling class has never had to eat shit? And that upheavals and changes of systems don't happen? Is this the usual dishonest argument that industrial capitalism is the eternal reflection of eternal human nature that must always and forever be, and wanting or fathoming something else must never, ever be done?

>then what do you have to lose?
Your life? What a stupid question.

Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes
