Comment on Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea

Neither of these are workers of the respective coops they’re members of.

The overlap between the kind of people wanting to do 0 work and the kind of people willing to actually physically fight for it is virtually nonexistent.
Who is going to enforce communal ownership of the means of production and all products in the economy when those in charge decide they should reap the benefits of managing that? It certainly isn’t going to be the lazy asses who don’t even want to work literally one day a week.
