“You might mean working according to someone else’s plan.”
Yes, this is what I meant by “working for”.
“If you abolish ownership, then working “for” someone changes in meaning.”
This is correct, if you stretch the meaning of “working for”, it can mean anything in the world. However, when we take the context of a workplace (for example a factory that makes glasses), in a capitalist system where you need to sell your labor in order to have a barely adequate life, you do not work for anything else other than your capitalist boss.
You do not work for the people who need glasses.
You do not work for the glory of the working class.
You work for your capitalist boss. This is pretty easy to understand when you actually manage to develop some class consciousness (you’ll get there).
It does not matter if your boss is “kind, considerate and willing to work with you”, you still work for him.
I’d be much more in favor of working in a factory if that boss was non-existant, and it instead felt like a union or group instead of a factory where I’m told to shut my trap or risk being homeless, or forced to move somewhere else to find work.
Edit: Looks like I made the Libs mad with this one B)
But wouldn’t you rather want to work with that person instead of for that person?
