“You might mean working according to someone else’s plan.”
Yes, this is what I meant by “working for”.
“If you abolish ownership, then working “for” someone changes in meaning.”
This is correct, if you stretch the meaning of “working for”, it can mean anything in the world. However, when we take the context of a workplace (for example a factory that makes glasses), in a capitalist system where you need to sell your labor in order to have a barely adequate life, you do not work for anything else other than your capitalist boss.
You do not work for the people who need glasses.
You do not work for the glory of the working class.
You work for your capitalist boss. This is pretty easy to understand when you actually manage to develop some class consciousness (you’ll get there).
It does not matter if your boss is “kind, considerate and willing to work with you”, you still work for him.
I’d be much more in favor of working in a factory if that boss was non-existant, and it instead felt like a union or group instead of a factory where I’m told to shut my trap or risk being homeless, or forced to move somewhere else to find work.
Edit: Looks like I made the Libs mad with this one B)
But wouldn’t you rather want to work with that person instead of for that person?

I mean when you put it like that it makes a lot more sense, but even that requires a sort of technology to accurately build a brain that works the same way a human brain does. Maybe AGI can be built but we have none of the resources to synthesize a human brain?
How do we even know if AGI is achievable? I don’t know anything about this topic but as far as I’ve heard AGI might actually just be impossible.

Just because humans created capitalism doesn’t mean it’s an expression of some essential or universal human trait.
