Nearly all humans that have ever existed in history worked without having jobs before the enclosure of all common means of subsistence

Fact of the day. Human beings would still naturally be able to all work for themselves and do quite well without having jobs if we were allowed to have access to land or the means of producing. Not having a job doesn't mean you don't want to work and the two things are mutually exclusive because a job is merely permission to be allowed to work granted by modern day nobility (People who privately own the means of production or land).

Also “living standards” are not affected by freedom of choice to work without jobs, therefore are not an argument in favour of maintaining the laws which outlaw it. The laws still must go or there needs to be a way to exercise them provided if there is any real freedom of choice.

If possible maybe there needs to be an amendment enshrined into Constitutions or Bill of Rights which ensure public access to the means of making a living or common land areas.

With this amendment a huge portion of AntiWork's objectives will be achieved if it can be permanently enshrined. Its a way forward that will end the most direct form of coercion creating slavery to capital.
