"Jobism" is prejudice....
..... towards people on account of the nature of their job/paid employment or lack of it.
And a belief that one's income is solely related to one's labour....
And a belief in WAGE SLAVERY....
And a belief that someone's JOB in a Capitalist Society DEFINES THEM as a human being.....
Production should be for use, not for profit, and certainly not just to provide jobs.
Work should be done to satisfy needs, not just to keep people working.
Think how much pleasanter life would be if the wages system was abolished.
There is always an infinite amount of actual non-paid work to be done but there is never enough paid work.
------
And for any Christians left out there, "consider the lillies" etc. etc. *yawn*
By which Jesus's probably meant that work is not everything in life, and money isn't everything in life etc. etc.....
And that our needs should be little and simple, and we are all capable of gaining our basic needs and we all deserve them.....
Many jobs involve doing things that are simply unnecessary, destructive or (in my view) morally wrong.
===========================================================
Examples of JOBIST remarks include:-
"I can't go out with him - he only works at a Car Wash!!!"
"Yes. But he is doing that to fund his next PHD in Physics!"
"I don't care. I won't go out with someone who works in a Car Wash!".....
