Does it make any great sense to transfer insight on " laziness " in
an ant colony to " alienated labor " in capitalist society ?
Worker ants do not work themselves to death for the benefit for any ant plutocracy.
Worker ants , in general, serve the species. Human workers in FOR PROFIT industries are employed only so long as their labor- their " wage slavery "- is profitable for the business owners. They do not work for humanity as a whole.
The crisis of global capitalism leads to the rational thought that human society must now be organized on a higher principle than production for profit. The planned economy of the future is presently advocated only by democratic socialists.
Mass unemployment is nothing but socially enforced " laziness ". Not that the unemployed worker is useless or " lazy " in any absolute sense.
There is just no capitalism motivated need for their labor.
Also, under capitalism most workers find their work intolerably dull; hence the frequent " goofing off ".
Much has been written about " alienated labor " under capitalism.
