I don't think you watched the videos. These people are brilliant and very well informed.
There is not a simple answer to this, some people are forced to work, work or eat, Some people have jobs they enjoy and pays them well.

Most people work together to make things, on farms, down mines, in factories or even on forums sharing ideas etc. Industrial societies are cooperative efforts that produce goods with less and less labour power. People who work like this see the advantage of working together and having reasonable demands as to rewards for their work. Trade Unions ask for a living wage, good housing, overtime payments, good health care and schools.

The don't demand a million dolar bonus for each worker.

A special group of people, think they are different, born to rule, and to consume as much as possible, while children die due to lack of clean water.

The task to create a society without the greedy for the needy.
