Antiwork

What is the point of this sub-reddit? (Not a troll)

So I was Googling about the four day workweek concept and stumbled onto this subreddit, which says it is about “ending work,” “those who want to end work,” etc…my question is, how could that ever work? (no pun intended). I mean work is needed for the production of the goods and services we all need to live and enjoy life. If no one works, there is no food, healthcare, housing, consumer goods, infrastructure, etc…I get that work often sucks and employers are often greedy abusive scumbags, but shouldn't the idea more be about how to improve the work-life balance and working conditions as opposed to just being anti-work…?
