My problem is the term “myth”. It implies that unskilled labor doesn’t exist. It argue it does exist because of capital and shouldn’t
That’s a different question and I disagree with the implicated identification of people and their occupation. You can put a shoemaker skilled to produce shoes all by themself and sit them on a pipeline with one simple task. They, as a person, are still skilled even though their skill isn’t wanted anymore by capital, and still their job is unskilled.
Putting skilled people into unskilled jobs is taking away their dignity. And since nobody is unskilled, unskilled jobs shouldn’t exist.
Even then, I disagree. Even in the simplest of task, one can get very skilled at it. You can easily tell the difference between a newbie and a veteran on a production line.
I also disagree that these sort of unskilled jobs shouldn’t exist. There’s benefit to this sort of separation of duties. If people want to organize to do it on their own, without hierarchical coercion, I don’t see a problem with it.
