So I’m not against wanting a better work/life balance. I’m all for unions, teleworks, paid family leave, etc., but you should have to work. This idea that people should not want to work is stupid and makes this community the laughing stock of the internet.
The end of work is not the end of labor. The goal of ending work is better described as destroying work as it exists now, with the exploitation and coercion required to make people work.
There’s a lot of intersection between the set of folk who believe in obligatory work and who believe in culling undesirables.
Having been called lazy all my life (despite having had lifelong major depression) I’m more than wary of when people like to suggest, as Thessalonians advises The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.
When my symptoms were most severe I was so unwilling to work I spent nine months in my bed, barely able to crawl to the kitchen or bathroom. I had no will to work or play or watch TV, or lift my limbs.
So, yeah when someone opines a work mandate, I get spooked.

Then you need a new slogan
There already is. It’s “work reform.”
And yet here we are on “antiwork” talking about how you didn’t consent to work…?
You also need to define the word work. For some theories there is a distinction between work and labor, each having different undertones and nuances.
I’m all for abolishing Work completely, but labour must still be done, and will be done through natural stimulation
Socialism is when nobody works.
Let the disabled starve?
Allow for bonded servitude?
Perhaps you might want to elaborate.
No and no? There you go bro
