What will happen to motivation under a socialist system?
A. If, by motivation, one means the fear that one ( and one’s children ) will be evicted if one is unable to meet the rent, will starve without a paycheck, that form of motivation, (which when one gets down to it, is armed coercion,) will be done away with, and good riddance. If, by motivation one means the desire to slave away at a personally unrewarding job, the robots will do those jobs for us. If, however, by motivation, one means the desire to create, to build, to do good things, these are inherent to humanity, and will always exist. Cybernetic Socialism will provide everyone with the opportunity to fulfill those desires.
