>I have only taken a short look at r/antiwork, [...], which is much more "work shouldn't have to be shitty and all-consuming" than "don't work at all". I was curious about /r/antiwork based on your comment so I looked at it and the description says: "A subreddit for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, want to get the most out of a work-free life," I also noticed these 2 links in the subreddit's "Intro" sidebar : - The Mythology of Work: https://crimethinc.com/2018/09/03/the-mythology-of-work-eight-myths-that-keep-your-eyes-on-the-clock-and-your-nose-to-the-grindstone https://crimethinc.com/2018/09/03/the-mythology-of-work-eigh... : >What if nobody worked? [...] That depends on what you mean by “work.” Think about how many people enjoy gardening, fishing, carpentry, cooking, and even computer programming just for their own sake. What if that kind of activity could provide for all our needs? - The Abolition of Work : https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/bob-black-the-abolition-of-work https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/bob-black-the-abolit... : > No one should ever work. Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you’d care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working. That doesn’t mean we have to stop doing things. It does mean creating a new way of life based on play; in other words, a ludic conviviality, commensality, and maybe even art. So if we assume that picking up garbage is not a form of "play" like fishing or art, nobody should have to _be_ garbage workers for society to function. It seems plausible that a garbage worker who is doing the job only for the pay instead of "joyful playing with trash" would post that sentiment on /r/antiwork as it's compatible with the 2 essays that the subreddit wants you to read.
