I give up. No one wants to talk about capitalism, just about hypothetical postcapitalist societies. Wonder why not.

My plan is working :-)
Yes, let's talk about capitalism and the current political-ecological mess we
and our kids have to deal with. You know, 21st century problems with 21st
century thinking or at least try to figure out what 21st century political thinking
-curse the singular- consists of/in.

How about shorter work time? But that would be 'unproductive labor'...unproductive of surplus value as Marx pointed out in the passage, because our time as producers wouldn't be being used to cut down rain forests, drive endless to work and back, produce a bunch of un-needed gadgets and ads and banking transactions because it would drive wages up to high and lower profit margins.
