This article from earlier in the year has some passages that resonate strongly with me, especially talk of shifting the focus of labour movements from work as a virtue to caring as a virtue.

“I think we need to attack the core of the problem, which is that we have an economic system that, by its very nature, will always reward people who make other people’s lives worse and punish those who make them better. I’m thinking of a labor movement, but one very different than the kind we’ve already seen. A labor movement that manages to finally ditch all traces of the ideology that says that work is a value in itself, but rather redefines labor as caring for other people.”
