There's not a single person who thinks no work is required for society to function, grow up yourself.
If you think antiwork is about never doing any kind of work ever again, you are misunderstanding the movement.
Besides the improvements in medicine and the calorie density of food, people 100 years ago had more free time and propotional money than we do today. They would have lived better lives than us if they didn't die of preventable sickness.
Pretending like any of this has to do with Capitalism is deepthroating capitalist propaganda, human tech has always progressed, even before Capitalism, and it will still happen after Capitalism
Have you been on this sub before?
Also your claim about people having more time a hundred years ago... I mean... I don't even know how to answer claim do surrealistic claims from Narnia.
How about this? I'll try it the nice way.. You provide some citations of where you get your funny ideas and I'll honestly read them and follow the sources to see from what ass they were pulled. If, for whatever reason your source actually is from a real historical source, I'll happily consider it and consider myself lucky to learn.
On my part I know that a hundred years ago (at least in western Europe) people worked a LOT more. Thanks due to religion they had the Sunday off to do nothing but worship, but the rest of the days were working 12 hour shifts with basically no work safety standards to speak of. Working was terrible a hundred years ago and it is a LOT better now
Unless you live in the US, probably, because in the US people are dumb and actually think all of what they're doing is normal. You still have only 2 weeks of vacations per year? In Europe you got 5. In Europe you typically work about 36, maybe 40 hours a week on a full-time job which, again, was VERY different in the past
I hope one day you can grow past this slave mentality.
Our systems can easily allow us to work less than half the week, we are failing to transition to a better and easily obtainable world.
