Elderly Anarchist bitches about the state of the sub: “this place is overrun with libs!”

It is buckwild to me that a subreddit called r/antiwork does not provide the most basic anti-work/post-left anarchist education, instead being a collection of people saying how shitty their jobs are within a liberal framework, e.g., presenting these issues as if they are single cases of bad apples and petty tyrants drunk on a small modicum of power, rather than what it really is, which is symptoms of the systemic injustices of Capitalism, the alienation and suffering inherent in the concept of “work” itself.

From what I've heard Bob Black himself is a bit of a shithead in some ways, but that doesn't change the fact that his essay is an important work of anarchist literature, most especially to those who would seek to learn more about the abolition of work.
