Americans work because they just enjoy it so much. No element of coercion to be found anywhere.

Exactly. Even those who have to work two jobs at starvation wage just to pay their mortgage and the medical bills of their parents and their college debt and ... do it just because they love what they do.

Amazon workers who need to wear diapers because they don't have enough bathroom breaks do it because they love putting things in boxes and contributing to Jeff Bezos wealth, not because it's either that of seeing their kids starve to death.

False. I work at a grocery store and have been for about a year and a half. Don't assume you know everything buddy. My dad is also a white-collar worker and not a redneck, surprise!

I think I found your problem. See, not everyone is born with equal opportunities. And in that grocery store, ever wonder where that food comes from? If so, do you ever wonder why so much of that unsustainably created food goes to waste when a horifically high number of families starve?

Actually, you mean work in terrible conditions just to barely survive, so your CEO and stockowners can live a luxury life of your work, without having to ever work. That's what capitalism is - allowing a tiny minority of capital owners to exploit the labor of everyone else, granting themselves a life of luxury at the cost of massive sufferings from workers and massive destruction of the environment.

I'm sure you're working at that grocery store because you think it'll make the world a better place.

Or maybe you work because you need the money you get in the form of wages. Ever thought that this applies to most of your fellow citizens, buddy?

This is never going to be the case, ever. As Marx explains rather convincingly in Critique of the Gotha Programme:

    "Let us take, first of all, the words "proceeds of labor" in the sense of the product of labor; then the co-operative proceeds of labor are the total social product.

    From this must now be deducted: First, cover for replacement of the means of production used up. Second, additional portion for expansion of production. Third, reserve or insurance funds to provide against accidents, dislocations caused by natural calamities, etc.

    These deductions from the "undiminished" proceeds of labor are an economic necessity, and their magnitude is to be determined according to available means and forces, and partly by computation of probabilities, but they are in no way calculable by equity.

    There remains the other part of the total product, intended to serve as means of consumption.

    Before this is divided among the individuals, there has to be deducted again, from it: First, the general costs of administration not belonging to production. This part will, from the outset, be very considerably restricted in comparison with present-day society, and it diminishes in proportion as the new society develops. Second, that which is intended for the common satisfaction of needs, such as schools, health services, etc. From the outset, this part grows considerably in comparison with present-day society, and it grows in proportion as the new society develops. Third, funds for those unable to work, etc., in short, for what is included under so-called official poor relief today.

    Only now do we come to the "distribution" which the program, under Lassallean influence, alone has in view in its narrow fashion – namely, to that part of the means of consumption which is divided among the individual producers of the co-operative society.

    The "undiminished" proceeds of labor have already unnoticeably become converted into the "diminished" proceeds, although what the producer is deprived of in his capacity as a private individual benefits him directly or indirectly in his capacity as a member of society."

Nah, the commune did good. CHAZ is was just ANTIFA's way of admitting that 99% of them are actually keyboard warrior NEET's that had little interaction with the real world.
