Question 68: Is it a character flaw to be lazy in an exploitive system?

[44] Catfish: response to Oak- lazy exploiters.   I think that Oak [43] got the answer partially right, and partially wrong by his own definitions. It seems to me that in an exploitive system, the lazy worker is really harming himself more than anyone else (excluding his family, or anyone else he might be supporting. I assume a single person.) In Marx's ideal system, the classification of a lazy worker doesn't seem to apply. The “lazy” person is really just doing the wrong job. If they were doing something they loved to do, and were good at, then they wouldn't be lazy anymore. According to Marx, in the end, all human labor is equal.

Hans: This is ungraded because it is your second submission in the same homework period. (In fact, you can have only one graded submission every other homework period.) Apart from the one misunderstanding I pointed out in [45] you are making some excellent points.
