Anarchists: So most of the work force fucked off to fight WWII and we still fed and clothed everyone and made bombs and boats and planes... Then they came back and we still think 8 hours is necessary?
@Fuego Then with the credit crunch we laid off a large chunk of our workforce and forced the remaining workers to work harder to get the same amount accomplished, then just never hired back the others when the economy rebounded.
Even with that, most folks are productive for only 4-ish hours a day.
If we could muster enough power to triple all wages (to a cap of course), half all workdays and double our workforces... Capitalism might stop killing so many people.

Inside the country, that is.
