The problem with statements like this is that they only ever seem to be made by narcissists who thinks work is only those efforts that directly benefit them. The end of my "work day" is when I start my other job of working for myself. I manage my home, I take care of my garden, I put effort into maintaining or improving my physical and mental well being, I foster and build the relationships in my life that I care about, etc. All of that is work, it's just work that I do for myself and don't get a paycheck for.

Some people would want others' lives to be embedded into one hierarchy, and that only.

So that everything of importance were decided by people on top of those hierarchies.

Ex-USSR countries show full well why this shouldn't be allowed. It, of course, was done there accompanied by a different ideology, but.
