That's certainly not my intention, however the point must be confronted, why is it that working hours have not been reduced to, say, 4 hours daily, 5 days a week? Or 3 8 hour days? The answer lies in the fact that "standard living conditions" will always be regulated around maximizing time to work, minus time to survive and raise the next generation of workers, under Capitalism.

But that's not a unique feature of capitalism. Serfdom, even communism had it. The powerful will always seek to exploit the labor of the masses, under any economic system.

Why would it happen in Communism, mechanically? I'm not asking if it happened in AES states, but why.

As I said, The powerful will always seek to exploit the labor of the masses, under any economic system. It appears to be fundamental to human nature.
Note I'm not saying it's inevitable that it will happen, but I am saying it's inevitable that those in power will try.

This is pseudoscience.

It's empirically derived.

How so? Vibes?

Name a single society where it hasn't happened.

At all, to any degree? Don't think that's possible, but it certainly happened to a far lesser extent in AES countries.
