Now Tuesday is my monday and while i dont hate Tuesday itself and i no longer hate the day that used to be monday i do hate the Monday part of my Tuesday because capitalism is still dictating my work hours and i hate it.

would the popular conception of mondays, ie. the start of an oppressive five day work week still exist if capitalism is abolished?

I guess it depends on what alternatives are sprung up in its place.

If capitalism is abolished, we're most likely going to be forced back to Feudalism. Mondays in Feudalism last 12+ hours and the work week continues until Saturday night.

I can only speak for myself that i am very motivated to work for the sake of growing humanity as long as my primary needs are unconditionally met.

The work week would be gone for me and personal/work projects would blend more into one. There will be weeks where i am working around the clock to Finnish a project because i am passionate about them. And weeks where i just lay in bed because i feel off.

Each according to their needs and abilities. The best coworker is a motivated and mentally healthy one.
