[20] Cleo: modern life crisis In Rosie's assertation [15] she claimed that the abstractness of wealth has
caused a crisis of modern life. I would like to expand upon the idea that
we are more often than not working 80 hour work weeks. This form of
production has become a normal part of everyday life for many of us, yet
this in no way makes it right. It is the capitalists who are increasingly
forcing their laborers to raise their level of labor, in other words to
increase their exploitation. In every direction of your life, most likely
you know someone, or know of someone who reluctantly works additional hours
than previously agreed to, and is getting the same amount of money, or
possibly even less. When factoring in the present state of the economy, in
an economic downturn, this presents us with nothing but a class struggle.
Laboreres, in the working class are being continually forced to accept over
time hours, for the simple reason of keeping their job and staying employed. |
