you know how people in Minecraft build all kinds of wonderful and amazing things such as machinery and art and games and all kinds of shit?
that’s what life would be like if we didn’t have to work to survive.
You have to work to survive in Minecraft, too. Which is to say, all those wonderful things are the product of human labor.
But in Minecraft, you get to enjoy the surplus of that labor. You don’t have a handful of Whale players draining your reserves with extortionary rents.
More importantly, in Minecraft crops grow in like 3 days, you never get sick and never age, and the global population is post-apocalyptic.
It would be interesting if you could make a minecraft server with tens of thousands of people in one survival word. See how fast resources become scarce.

Which mustn’t be an issue. Most advanced nations produce a surplus of food for example. So much, that an insane amount of it is wasted and never consumed.
So in principle, sure. Some work is necessary to allow a certain quality of life for all and ensure survival. But if you think about our fucked up wealth distribution, it does not need to be so hard.
