The capitalists that come out of the woodworks to say anti-capitalists are “pessimistic” or “refuse to see the good in people” because they think capitalism is inherently harmful are so funny to me. THEY’RE the ones claiming that without capitalism the world will die out because no one will work and that without government people will be murdering each other in the streets.
Like, sorry Bestie but I choose to give humanity the benefit of the doubt and say that we are naturally cooperative and caring towards each other, and that we naturally want to do things and make the world better. My ideology says the system is setting us up for failure and we can break out of it, yours is saying that without the system humans would fuck everything up. Which of us is seeing the worst in people?

Quote
The clock was an indispensable instrument for the standardization of the work day. The rationalization of time has hurled us into a spiral of ever increasing haste. We wish to kill the king who tries to force us to pray to the god of work.

Average cost of rent in America by state and county. Americans, go to the link and find your county then reblog and put in the tags whether you're paying more or less than average for your house.
#It's $1000±50 for a 3 bedroom house in my county in Ohio and my roommates and I are paying less than that for ours.#america#current events#anti-work#fuck landlords#solarpunk#diy#punk#rent crisis

The post I'm bouncing ideas off of isn't letting me reblog it for some reason, but if I had to guess: most likely the idea of physical labor being good for you can appeal to people who haven't done physically demanding jobs because: for office drones and people who have been in school a lot (or unemployed for that matter) often they don't get enough physical movement and/or things that make you go "Oh! I did something! I can see that I did something!"
People need a balance of these things, and I got a total rush from picking up a couple cigarette butts in the local city park yesterday because when you've been exposing yourself to a lot of climate change -- cruelty to immigrants -- police violence -- transphobia -- whatever whatever whatever, big stuff that you can't fix by picking up a couple cigarette butts, being able to go "ok, I made a really tiny part of the world slightly better in a small but measurable way" makes the big abstract stuff seem a little bit less terrifying.
So people can follow the train of thought, "a little bit of physical labor (that wasn't really "labor" in the sense of being paid or for a boss) was good for me" and extrapolate to "'a lot more physical labor would be a lot better for me" and indeed "a lot more physical labor would be better for everyone." While of course people who have been working physically demanding jobs often need completely different things, like rest and decent working conditions and respect and quality health care and idk a heating pad or knee brace or something.
(Some of what people don't like about work is effort and some of what people don't like about work is the power/dehumanization stuff. Like when you're not allowed to use the tool that doesn't hurt your back and does the job just as well, or when you're not allowed to go at your own pace and take breaks as needed, or when the boss expects you to keep working through an injury. The former is intrinsic to stuff needing to get done, sometimes it can be reduced and sometimes it really can't. The latter is not.)
Like when I was doing Food Not Bombs a lot, sure it was a lot of effort and sometimes I got tired, because transporting stuff and cooking and cleaning are work. And doing it week after week after week gets old after a while. But if I got a small burn on my finger and wanted to stay away from the stove for a bit, or just didn't want to work that much and wanted to play computer games for a couple hours instead, or was sick and thought I shouldn't be working that day at all, I could just do that, and because I wasn't the only person putting in the work we'd still get the meal done. And while there are some downsides to the "people get to decide when and how they work" model (some days you get seven people in the kitchen and there's not enough for them all to do, some days you get two people and they have to bust ass) it really clarifies how much of the sucky parts of "work" are not actually intrinsic to "getting things done".

Talking to Liberals
"If they are not contributing to society, they should. If they are able to work, they should."
It frustrates me so much talking to Liberals.
They are okay with an unjust system of power over others because the worse thing in society is "laziness."
I really hate this Protestant believe that "Work in of itself is a virtue that all should strive for."

Did my monthly reddit visit and this goofy shit had upvotes in an anarchist subreddit. Learn self defense to protect yourself from people like this. Recognize when they disguise programs of dominion through leftist terminology. This insinuation of enslavement cannot be accepted. Refuse, sabotage and destroy the providence of work. Bonanno once wrote, “Behind all this there is always the hand of those who want to regulate our lives, think for us, or politely suggest that we think as they do.”
