In her classificatory schema labor belongs to the realm of necessity, and meaning to that of freedom. Consequently she accepts it as inevitable that labor must remain cyclical, repetitive, and monotonous, and can never become meaningful and fulfilling. She discusses the realm of necessity almost entirely in terms of the abolition of poverty, and never asks if and how labor can be made satisfying, expressive of the laborer’s powers and needs, and a source of self-fulfillment and self-realization. Arendt’s neat separation of the realms of necessity and freedom prevents her from noticing that the realm of necessity allows for considerable freedom … in the sense that men can collectively organize and plan production, devise ways of eliminating or minimizing the detailed division of labor, make working conditions attractive and pleasant, and provide for industrial democracy and collective self-determination. (Parekh 1979, 86-7)
