Like maybe the day might still get called monday, but will it have the same or similar meaning (aka people hate monday as the start of the work/school week)?
Collective days off are simply a more efficient way to spend time together. Even in an anarchist society we might decide to take time off on specific days to spend time with our friends and loved ones. Likewise, we do have to get certain things done even if they’re miniscule with all the automation. School would also be a factor with the off days for school probably on the same days the parents choose.
So we’re still gonna have Mondays. We will just hate them less because they aren’t dedicated to our corporate wageslave masters
80% of everything sucks. It’ll keep on sucking after anarchy. The only difference is the drive to do the sucky work comes from within, so “I hate Mondays” becomes more of an adulting exasperation.
Unless you have fully automated luxury anarchism you have people working and for a lot of things working in a team is just the way to go. So yes most realistic societies will have Monday. Shitty work has to be done and as you are just not going to be able to have all tasks done by somebody who likes doing them.
That being said without capitalism we can rethink how we use the machines we have and just produce less. We are already able to produce more then enough to give a good life for everybody on the planet. For rich countries halving the workweek is already entirely possible with easily meeting everyone’s basic needs rather well. You have to reduce a lot of waste though, like most cars, packaging, flying and so forth.
Also people will probably go to some kind of education. So that is not going to go away. Any society needs skilled people and they need to be taught somehow. So some kind of school would have to be around.
- the meme is: “You don’t hate Mondays, you hate capitalism.”
- “Monday” = “moon” + “day”
We might need a community meeting at the start of each work week so that we can update each other on everything and make any decisions that need to be made. So that could be pretty groany. Probably dependent on the quality of the snacks. Which will depend on the season, your local ecology, and whether you have some good snack-makers in your tribe.
tl;dr: snacks.
