In so many of the contrarian responses I'm seeing, I'm reminded of Fisher:
That is to say that so many cannot escape the capitalist framework of productive workers supporting the elderly. As though that's the only way society can possibly be organized.
Retirees are not seen as deserving of their reward, but rather a drain on productive labor. It's no wonder that there is so little sympathy for the destitute and homeless when those who've "earned" their leisure are still known as parasites.
How do you imagine a world of caring for those who cannot care for themselves without people to care for them?
