Listen, this user is a terminally online anarchist who complains about tankies and calls Stalin genocidal. But shes correct about this one. Mostly. I mean using the term "bedtime abolition" sounds dumb but Im pretty sure she only did that because its a common joke about anarchists. The core point is about how 9-5 work schedules dont work for everyone. As an ND person who struggles with culturally normal sleep schedules, I absolutely agree that society needs to accomodate these things. I absolutely agree that its literally normal talk everyone says that work schedules suck.

People saying "just go to bed on time" or "just pop a melatonin" have never been in the position of trying to do that and failing, just laying awake for hours until you finally fall asleep two hours before you need to be up.

    Aren't we just asking for the resting time of workers to be valued and allowed flexibility?

    Pretty much yeah. And respect for people's different circadian rythems and such.

    Initially i agree that when anarchists say "time abolition " its a rhetorically bad way of asking for a good thing. But then i remember that that people react to police abolition, prison abolition, and decolinization like theyre asking for things they arent asking for, and then people say they are rhetorically bad terms. And i wonder if its really so bad or if its just another radical way of asking for something good. Not really sure.

      time abolition is rhetorically bad in a very factual way though, because literally every person on the planet experiences a 24 hour day-night cycle (just with some locations having greater variance in the ratio of day:night)
