for some fiction maybe try Albert Cossery.

For more philosophical works there's Dead Man Working, The Right to be Lazy, Willing Slaves of Capital, and Manifesto against Labour. I have them all in epub format if you want them.

Kind of an arbitrary cut off point.

Going by that, most people aren't wage slaves either as they have two thirds of their time.

Work - 8
Free time - 16

Not when you exclude the 8 hours that are used for sleep instead of either of those.

>> No.7154630

>>7154612
But there's also the commute. And I don't consider sleep to be time to myself.

So that's 1/4 of my time to myself

And a variable, yet large portion of that is eating, shitting, and fapping, which again are chores,not free time.

NEETzche was right, we're all slaves

Using wage literally stuff like
https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=yI67jM3BP_IC&pg=PA26&lpg=PA26&dq=19th+century+workers+rights+time+clocks&source=bl&ots=ZAqQmmoG78&sig=uSZmYglRTjAheGIWEtMzIQCbQZk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CEAQ6AEwCGoVChMI5bnst56QyAIVxkAaCh37ugUQ#v=onepage&q=19th%20century%20workers%20rights%20time%20clocks&f=false

So like over the 18 and 19th centuries the prevalence of synchronised times became more and more important first because of naval navigation and then later because trains had to be synchronised to avoid crashes and so on. Before you had local times in different cities and villages and all that and would adjust your watch over small distances. Then as industrialisation swept through workers had their time also regulated. People very aggressively protested against having their time controlled in such a way, they felt they were being treated like machines and such. Literally wageslave has been a thing since wages were invented.

I can't think of who wrote about it and where tho, but it was a pretty major workers ' rights thing

Yeah but now the parameters are getting even more arbitrary

Why don't those things count to your time?

So basically, you'd have to sit in bed having all your meals made for you, not travel anyway, just piss and shit on the spot and be permanently sleep deprived from cutting down on as much sleep as possible to not be a slave?

How can you not understand that unless you do what it is you want to do you are considered a slave in Nietzsche's eyes?

>I share a board with these people

>> No.7155009

>>7154840
The Greek idea of freedom (where I assume Nietzsche got his idea of freedom/slavery from) states that to be free is to have freedom from basic needs. That is to say, no work is needed for food, shelter and so on. This of course requires wealth.

>> No.7155044
