the workers who made up base material extraction (mostly itinerant lumber workers, miners, farm laborers) were the only workers worth organizing, with all other workers being 'parasites' on the 'true working class'

retail workers are not parasites and are usually more oppressed than fishermen/etc, but the industry they work for is inherently more parasitic IMO

all companies are parasitic but the industry of selling cheap coffee for $15 because the stressed urbanite can't afford 2 minutes to make their own lest they get fired from their bullshit office job is something that I can't see existing under a utopian socialist economy. Cutting down trees and farm work, on the other hand will always be necessary

IMO socialism inherently requires some type of sacrifice, and sacrifices like "not having a barista" and "not being able to get the exact type of chocolate I want" are fine and good. TBH I think that even private property should be eventually done away with and substituted with rotational living; I think people would be much happier living in a few different houses across their life that they don't own
