why the fuck are MLs choosing WORK as their hill to die on? is it really utopian to imagine a world in which labor becomes increasingly less and less important due to advancements in technology as well as societal need and structure?
Basically we get rid of capitalism and implement socialism and then, viola, alienation vanishes. Right?

I wish. We cant even imagine a process of labor that isn't alienating under our current material conditions. Capitalism needs to fall, but its fall alone nor any sort of 'implementation of socialism' following it will rid us from alienation

I like to think that I can imagine past capitalism and imagine unalienated labour...

possibly although I'd be wary as to how deep capitalism can penetrate and corrupt our perception of reality and thus all the ideas and notions we arrive at under these material conditions
