most of the population fucking hates work

everyone is burnt out, stressed out, forced into faking productivity for the sake of appeasing managers, forced into pretending like just because it exists that this is the best organization of the creative and eager labor among us

"but it gives structure to their lives"

"well, we have to have some way to balance productivity with worker happiness"

these are honestly sick lies that show the hands of those who speak them, like a shepherd speaking to sheep.

the goal of any good principled socialist or communist or anarchist movement should be to emancipate labor from the confines of these hellish boxes, forced for hours on end to perform the same task over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again

people develop based on the activities they engage in. and when you are forced to engage in the same activity, just to subsist, your development is limited to a tiny fraction of what it could be.

people should be free to develop themselves through engaging in all the various creative and thoughtful endeavors that they wish, and that are allowed to them by their natural confines. not arbitrarily forced into one through bad organization.

"There is no such thing as freed labour. There is no such thing as integrated labour (manual-intellectual). What does exist is the division of labour and the sale of the workforce, i.e. the capitalist world of production."

"The revolution is the negation of labour and the affirmation of joy."

"Any attempt to impose the idea of work, ‘fair work’, work without exploitation, ‘self-managed’ work where the exploited are to re-appropriate themselves of the whole of the productive process without exploitation, is a mystification."

"The concept of the selfmanagement of production is valid only as a form of struggle against capitalism, in fact it cannot be separated from the idea of the selfmanagement of the struggle."

"If the struggle is extinguished, selfmanagement becomes nothing other than selfmanagement of one’s exploitation."

"If the struggle is victorious the selfmanagement of production becomes superfluous, because after the revolution the organisation of production is superfluous and counter-revolutionary."
