Is this movement actually anti-work or just anti-job?

I’m asking because I think my ideology is more so based in humans having more autonomy and self-determination when it comes to choosing how they contribute to society in a meaningful way.

When the real “enemy”, IMO, is not working… but being treated as indentured servants and slaves in jobs. Jobs that happen to be owned by people who don’t need to contribute anything tangible of value (money is a number in the sky, now) because their wealth comes from being wealthy(they call that investment).

Maybe this really is a group that doesn’t want any work?
