    They want to go home earlier, they don’t care enough, they don’t think it’s important enough, etc

    And why would workers want that? Or, differently put: If they don’t care, why are they working in the first place?

    Any job worth doing is worth doing right. That’s the intrinsic value of work, those things you mentioned only come into play when work is compelled by external factors. Convince people to work instead of compelling them and there will be intrinsic motivation and yes they’re going to do it right.

    “Marxism isn’t proper socialism” is a story as old as Marx, btw. There were always people who disagreed with him, vehemently so, and he didn’t found the worker’s movement.
