A post-work future is coming! It is looked at w/ fear and trepidation. Full employment is an unquestioned goal. Wrong goal! Within the context of capitalism, this backwards thinking makes sense, since jobs = survival. But it's changing!

Compromise in futures work is especially relevant to After Capitalism. We may fail to act because a proposal is not perfect, wanting more of X or Y. All-or-nothing often = nothing. Compromise is okay with clarity of vision and a sense of priorities.
