There's also the value of just being there sometimes. Attending a performance, eating at a restaurant, purchasing art all allow someone to pursue their dreams even though they don't produce anything.
In a way that might be more relevant to the communist project, someone who has the time and know-how to monitor social media for long periods of time can be invaluable in emergency situations where people are checking in and posting about conditions online, but no assistance has arrived yet. If you have a team of people who know how to do some impromptu emergency-time first responder shit, having a NEET or two to step in and help coordinate can make a huge difference. And that’s just one example
But that's still them performing some action. I'm talking about the necessary parts of society that are inaction. Art is essential for humanity, but if we all just made art and no one looked at it that would be maddening. There's also all the work that isn't art but needs to be seen or attended in some way. So we need people to just be there sometimes, no matter what they have done or who they are.
Oh I see what you mean. Like I’m addition to NEET people having value in terms of labor that’s not traditionally compensated, consumption itself is valuable even though it’s hijacked under capitalism
