The useful idiots who pray for the revolution everyday truly believe that it will be endless charity for them instead of forced labor.

Labour is not the same thing as work.

[bryanrasmussen]

It is however a closely linked synonym.

[beaconstudios]

Labour is doing productive things, work is employment. Antiwork and other related things like "the abolition of work" by Bob Black are against wage labour and capitalist exploitation moreso than the need to do things to keep the world turning.

Do they offer any alternative? I'm all for payment shifting from 'buts in seats' to 'paid for productivity' if there's proper allowance for taking time for quality, but somehow that doesn't seem the kind of direction people are thinking in.

[beaconstudios]

"paid for productivity" is not on the table for anarchists because it's still capitalism and anarchists are anti capitalist.

[SuoDuanDao]

Except the AnCaps, but I predict they'll split with the Randians any day now and drop off the map.

[_oghd]

collective ownership is the alternative. abolition of private property. it's the core idea of anarchist and anti-capitalist thought.

[iratewizard]

Collectively owning nothing and creating a power vacuum that will be filled by violent psychopaths. We all saw how Chaz went.

[matheusmoreira]

Hopefully capitalism will one day automate everything to the point no labor is necessary and society will evolve into post scarcity rather than communism.
