Antiwork

Anti-work is about more than being “opposed to work”. It’s about ending cycles of capitalist abuse

Union busting? That’s capitalist abuse. No public healthcare? That’s capitalist abuse. Landlord jacked up the rent because the minimum wage went up? That’s capitalist abuse. Lack of public transit, houses cost a fortune, college debt follows you to the grave, Walmart ran all the small shops out of town? It’s capitalist abuse. All of it. These are all working-class issues. They affect all of us, whether we know it or not. Workers of all stripes: liberals, leftists, anarchists, and Marxists will always disagree on large issues. But we can all at least unite around the philosophy of basic human decency. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise should be questioned, but not alienated. Alienating other working-class people is also capitalist abuse. We can rebuild the communities gutted by this abuse. We can come together, grieve, love, and heal from this abuse. We can rise above this abuse. Call it out…


Union busting? That’s capitalist abuse.

No public healthcare? That’s capitalist abuse.

Landlord jacked up the rent because the minimum wage went up? That’s capitalist abuse.

Lack of public transit, houses cost a fortune, college debt follows you to the grave, Walmart ran all the small shops out of town? It’s capitalist abuse. All of it.

These are all working-class issues. They affect all of us, whether we know it or not. Workers of all stripes: liberals, leftists, anarchists, and Marxists will always disagree on large issues.

But we can all at least unite around the philosophy of basic human decency.

Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise should be questioned, but not alienated. Alienating other working-class people is also capitalist abuse.

We can rebuild the communities gutted by this abuse.

We can come together, grieve, love, and heal from this abuse.

We can rise above this abuse.

Call it out wherever you can. Defend your fellow workers wherever you can. Free your communities from the chains of abusive compulsory work culture wherever you can.

I’ll be there with you.
