    That’s incorrect, it’s a system where you die if nobody wants you to do anything, which is a much lower threshold to clear given how many things can be delegated.

    Like, you can make a living making art, which is not necessary but definitely something people want, if you’re good at it.

        Lol no it’s not, and I say it as an avid consumer of several different artforms.

        Also, even then, you don’t need a specific artist to make it for you, you can make art too.

        The fact that art thrives in mercantilist and capitalist societies is a testament to the fact that want, and not need, drives the market.

        That’s my point. You don’t need furry art to survive, nobody needs furry artists to make furry art, but people with surplus want them to, and that makes them thrive in a capitalist society.
