Most people don’t mind being productive. There’s a big difference between that and being forced to give all of your productivity to someone else, have little choice in what you produce or what’s done with it, and not be compensated equivalently. If a person in an ancient agrarian society produced enough wheat to feed the town with a few months of labor per year, they were compensated with everything else they needed to survive and had the rest of the time to raise their family and enjoy life.
Modern people do intense mental or physical labor to the point of having barely enough time and energy to keep up with tasks necessary for the survival of themselves and their family, and are not even rewarded with enough to own a home of their own much less enough food and time off to recover from the intense labor.

Huge difference.
