What if no one wanted to work but we all demanded free Healthcare, free housing and food?

No one really wants to work. It's just that some of us don't want to be free loaders'
We also acknowledge the fact that to work is being responsible.

If no one worked nobody would have anything.
it's a fact. It's the way this country is set up to run.

I am a firm believer that those who cannot accept the system of the country that they reside in should move to a country that they agree with

You are correct unfortunately they fell for a right wing conspiracy

@specman or change the country that I was born in into one I agree with via my right to vote and right to run for elected office.... just because I was born in the South doesn't mean I have to be a inbred redneck to continue to live here...

@specman more people would be willing to work if more corporations weren't still relying on the most gullible people to do the most work for the least compensation and the least complaint...

That's pretty much what democratic voters are doing now.

what if we work but cannot pay for housing food and health care

We would still have to work and no one wanting to work is already a reality given the working conditions so many have to face under capitalism.
Then we'd have to demand better working conditions so that people want to work.

Yep, if housing and health care are "rights," as in, you get to forcibly conscript someone to provide these for you at no expense to yourself, then what happens when the laborers won't cooperate?

@graphite So instead of incentivising work you would rather hold people hostage and force them to work like either you work or end up homeless?
graphite · 61-69, M
@Gloomy Incentivize by PAYING them? Who pays them, then?
Gloomy · F
@graphite good working conditions, affordable healthcare and basic necessities for their money would be a start. Getting little pay that wouldn’t be able to pay medical treatments cause it's insanely expensive is not incentivising it is keeping people down

There would be no healthcare, housing or food.

We'd be Senators?
The ecosystem might survive us if we adopted such plans.
It's no joke.

@Emosaur There are currently no laws or active protest against automation. It's a question of investment. What you're describing may happen one day but we are a long way off. Even self checkout kiosks have to be monitored by someone to prevent shoplifting. Perhaps as AI advances, it can better spot the shoplifters but humans have outsmarted AI before and thieves will always come up with innovative ways to bypass AI systems.

50 years ago we were told machines were going to take our jobs or make things easier. We work more hours on average today than we did 50 years ago.

In Communist and Socialist societies they'd be sent to prison for refusing to do their own share.
@NativePortlander1970 Yes, you know the USSR was bad, congratulations. What I'm saying is you don't understand what the politics of the USSR were.
And Wikipedia articles actually have to have citations, which is why bullshit artists like you don't like it.
