I dislike the urgency thing. "4 more people looking at this, only 1 spot left".
I also hate when it when the ads follow me around every social media platform.
That's why I love it here. Thank you lemmy.

Mathematics actually hates humanity, and it likes to remind us of it, sometimes. That's why.

There's a comment someone made in lemmygrad that reminded of your reply to me.
Sorry to not address it point by point, but I hope the link is useful. I'll try to do it later, but can't really promise it. :D
The benefit is that there's at least a goal that will benefit the poorest strata of society.
Capitalism doesn't address it at all. It's every man for themselves and fuck everyone else. That's textbook recipe for sick societies, like all capitalist societies on the planet. None of them work for the poorest of the people, none of them attempt to do so.
It's crisis after crisis, with random economical meaningless inflation fear mongering to get people to hate their fellow workers. To compete for an ever decreasing pool of jobs.
But it is rational for any individual to not work as hard, because he will bear less of the cost of that work, but still realize the same gain
They wouldn't realise the same gain.
More valuable work is better paid. Skilled management is likely to get better pay than menial work. Dangerous jobs get better pay than safer jobs.
You are not allowed to become rich by exploiting others, though.
From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs. - Marx in 1875.
Its not about equality, it's about fair distribution of goods and services produced by the society. As in, it is fair that national leaders get to fly planes to travel abroad frequently,for example.
The recurring issue with communism is that capitalist powers keep on trying to corrupt, infiltrate and sabotage popular governments.
While there's incentive from outsider agents to control the resources in a piece of land, and the population in that area, there's risk that some people within that population will betray their people for individual gain.
There's no passive corruption without active corruption. Active corruption happens for individual gain in detriment of other people. Active corruption is the role of money players, the capitalists.
Learn meditation and deep relaxation?
Learning how to shut down your brain and body is ridiculously useful.
Something like https://youtu.be/lu_cLaBTXio, with a guide that makes you comfortable. Eventually you figure out the process and become able to shutdown by yourself.
