Work Matters Part II: in a Co-operative Commonwealth

 More on work.

And the plan for Co-operative Socialism.

In applied mathematics, work is done when a force moves over a certain distance.

If I recall my A Level in that subject.

A *very* long time ago.

In human terms, it might be suggested that work is done when effort is applied to difficulty.

Indeed, to a generality, work is done when order is created out of chaos: just think of our Bin-men friends, without whose arduous Drudgery, chaos would rapidly engulf us all in illness.

Likewise, The Posties that get my second-hand book purchases to me, along with news of my overdraft. Durn! Bad boy John!

Now, under (literally under its Iron Heel) Capitalism, Work is co-opted, stolen, for the Profit if those who do not work.

They are indifferent to the nature and consequences of that Work - as long as the Profits roll in.

PDQ!

Incidentally, one of the con-sequence-es (or, rather, con-current-sies) is the chaos that is done to the 'rest of' the 'environment' (I use parentheses, since there is no such thing as 'rest of' and 'environment': neither text nor context can live separately 'apart' from one-another.

So, what if work in a world of Co-operative Socialism? In a Co-operative Commonwealth, as part of a Co-operative Commonweal?

More soon.
