But now everyone says I'm lazy because I'm a communist.

    I used to think I was lazy, but it turns out I just instinctively hated the alienation of labor

    gardening showed me that when I can self-direct tasks and the results of my labor I love doing stuff

      Yup. I firmly believe that the vast majority of people could fit the profile of the fabled Hard Worker if we cut out the parasitic capitalist middleman from the equation, and if there was the remotest amount of effort made by our social structures to make work meaningful and/or to pair people with jobs that they are well suited toward. And ofc even if they don't fit that profile there's no shame in it and they should still be cared for by society.
