    I think there are probably some people that do just want to be maids or butlers like in a lord's house. They do not want to get treated like crap and society looks down on those roles, so they don't get to pursue those goals. I think there are also people that would benefit from or enjoy having that sort of help in their life but also wouldn't get off on the power dynamic. I think, once we hit the communism button, it will be cool to see those two groups interact and mutually benefit without the idea that domestic work is worthless and that anyone who does it is less than garbage, and that no one should need or want help in daily tasks.

      Being a housekeeper/butler/ladies maid/valet for a communal house or apartment might be legitimately a cool and respected job. Like there's a lot to like about running a well-organised household full of people who are well dressed and know what they're doing today. It's basically being the production manager of people's lives and should get the same respect.

        exactly. It nly sucks right now because of all the cultural stigma and attitudes we have about it. helping people stay on top of things and have their material lives together is nothing to look down on.

      Those people should get mental health treatment (and so should their employers) so they don't have these sick master/slave dynamic. Serving another human like that for pay is inherently demeaning.
