    Doing something you don’t like for yourself feels quite different from doing it for someone else, though.

    Eh, not really IMO...I hate doing maintenance on the house, yard work, cleaning etc. just as much as the days I don't want to go to work, perhaps even more actually.

    So in a world where there is little to nothing to spend leisure time on, working is not as bad.

    Well, that sucks 😅 Sounds like you should live in an apartment/condo! Still won’t escape the cleaning, though..

    Oh god no, I have done that and that sucks ass too. Sure no maintenance, but then there's people everywhere around you.

    I'd still hate going to work on monday under any other system since it's still work

    Yeah, I think that about sums it up.

    But also the work itself is never the worst kind of work. Everything that must be done as a matter of survival in a society like that is stuff that some people do as hobbies in a society like ours. It probably helps that there is no one thing that anyone has to do all day every day.

    Also their leisure time was probably much more fulfilling. They sang instead of listening to Spotify, told each other stories instead of watching movies, played sports instead of watching professionals do it, etc.

    But these are not issues by a capitalistic society, these issues exist under any system in a modern world with options beyond bare survival.

    What if we abolish work? Machines do the majority of labor, and the rest is 100% volunteers (not "work").

    Do I have to wake up on Monday for it?
