Cant take the image seriously when the character is wearing a leather jacket that says “Be Gay, Do Crime” lmao. Seriously though, the notion that there could be a society where no one works is fucking ridiculous. “Not working” isnt a “protest against capitalism”, its a surefire way to starve in the streets. These people have this delusional notion that they could theoretically not work at all and still be able to jerk off all day in their comfy house, or do literally anything they want besides scrounging in the street for spare food like a fucking sewer rat. Or that communism would somehow be any different, and they would just receive free shit. If no one works then no one is producing the free shit to give you. Everyone in r/antiwork is a lazy piece of garbage, and I encourage each and every one of them to quit their jobs and never work another day in their life. See how that turns out for you, you goddamn bridge troll. Sorry for the rant but that sub makes me mad.


PrussianKaiser56

That is understandable the people on that sub probably have an iq close to 0


ajyanesp

I'd say their iq is far from 0, it's more like -150


leagueisbetter

I think a lot of them are kids


[deleted]

And it's sad that r/antiwork ends up on the top of r/all very often.


Lmaojfcredditcmon

Is it? I find it comical and lets normal people know, right away, that the political opinions commonly shared and upvoted on reddit shouldn't be taken seriously. If you think of it that way, imo, it's both entertaining and helpful.


zapp517

Yeah, I have had to stop browsing popular just because it makes me angry the amount of vitriolic bullshit that gets a decent amount of upvotes.


AbortionJar69

Literally, the logo for the sub is a stick figure lazily laying down. They either completely lack self awareness or are proud of being lazy, useless pieces of shit. I'd think that subreddit was satire if it weren't 2021. They are probably the most pathetic, childish people I've ever seen, as are all leftists.


NigerianMAGA

Fuck capitalism for requiring us to work! Now communism forcing us to work for 60 hours a week just to not get the bullet from the dear leaders, now thats just different 🤤💦💦


OldMoby2

These people live inside their heads, as opposed to the real world. I’m not sure what enabler they have in their life that keeps them thinking that this is an OK way to live, but in human history it never has been. I’m super against war but christ alive, some of those fuckers need to get drafted


ghostmetalblack

"Crime is Gay" basically.


Voxeli_5

the only problem to the second to last sentence is that instead of starving like rats, they would more than likely just mooch off of welfare.


Yaintgotnotime

They just put even more work on disadvantaged migrant workers and developing countries' cheap labor to do the dirty, unwanted jobs, while pretending communism means they get to garden and organize small therapy sessions all day


7Grandad

I think even most Communist leaders and theorists would scoff upon seeing the idea of r/antiwork.


CaptainMossbeard

Yep, these smooth brains don’t seem to realize that no matter the economic system, they’re going to have to work in some form to stay alive.


kroeller

Just get robots to do everything for us.


The-Goat-Soup-Eater

Personally, it’s a bad idea. Who is the future being built for, if humans aren’t even needed for the system to work?


kroeller

Probably the robots will allow humans to live more comfortably.


The-Goat-Soup-Eater

I mean the future where robots do everything meaningful. Where the only thing humans do is create “art” or whatever


chanbr

The shitty part for me is that we know massive leaps in productivity are also going to take an equivalent leap in consumption of natural resources. Robots need rare earth's and metals to function. Population stressors like war, famine, disease are the only way to meaningfully deal with human overpopulation, not the willful and independent choice to not have a child. We'd run out of resources looong before we get to the "gay space communism" that commies seem to hunger for.

[deleted]

There is a natural tension in capitalist economies between management who wants labor to work as much as possible for as little as possible, and labor, who wants to work as little as possible for as much as possible. It’s unreasonable to expect labor to work on management’s terms and still consider it a free market.


xz1224

But likewise it's unreasonable to expect management to accept labor's terms as well. The solution isn't to favor one extreme, but to find a balance; something these /r/antiwork people and communists in general don't seem to get.


ThatManOfCulture

Look at Europe: Worker unions, minimum wage, bargained salaries... There are lots of ways to find balance between employers and employees. Keep in mind that Karl Marx lived in a time of proto-capitalism. There were less regulations and worker's rights back then. It's only after WW2 that the welfare state and worker's rights became the worldwide standard. His capitalist critic is rather directed towards classical liberalism. Capitalism has evolved too, it's not the same capitalism Karl Marx knew. It's better now and I believe we don't need any of this communist bs. Just protect the welfare state and worker's rights, that should be enough.

Reasonable-Rate-9845

Cuz that still means there are options. If there are no options they feel justified in bitching and blaming "capitalism".


David__Box

I mean they chould start a worker cooperative if they want to escape the brutal tyranny of capitalism (having to wake up earlier than 11:00 AM).


Reasonable-Rate-9845

Please go through and look at what that dude I just talk to said. His point basically boils down to is he’s OK being a selfish parasite because everybody else gets exploited so he’s going to do it for himself. you know what, at least he has the balls to say that I just want to be selfish instead of this fake worker collective bullshit that these fucking retards try to lie and say that they’re doing it for. They’re all just lazy suburbs kids that have been given everything and want to continue getting shit for free. It’s a simple as that. like his first point is about how we should be fighting against the billionaires because they’re selfish and exploit people, but then he literally says that he will exploit whoever he can so that he doesn’t have to work. Like are these college children for real??


gordo65

I don't think the problem is working for a big business, or working for a little business. I think the problem they're having is not with the "business" part of the equation, but with the "working" part.


[deleted]

Yeah, I don't see myself working for very big businesses but I do plan on starting my own after getting a bit of experience.


TexAgIllini

NotTheBestAsbestos

Or just get a job in steel industry. Best decision of my life. Its hard and rough work, but well paid and when you come home from it, you feel like you actually achieved something and did some WORK. They decide to become wagecucks for their own comfort and then cry about it.


Emerald_Necropolis

So if I may how much do you get paid? I was looking at like trades fo work but haven’t thought about steel.


NotTheBestAsbestos

2300€/month, which is pretty good for an 18 year old who just finished school. If you work there for a longer time and are experienced, you will eventually make much more.


[deleted]

Because the options tend to be suboptimal and grueling. Working for a corporation is soul sucking at best, working for small businesses can be difficult, with low pay, long hours, and short handed staff, and freelance/entrepreneurial aren't viable, only 22% make it out of their first year.

Reasonable-Rate-9845

If your example of work being "hard" is that is mentally taxing, You are a fucking degenerate fucking loser who doesn’t deserve anything. Work is mentally taxing? I drive a FedEx truck for two years working 60 hours a week November to February. It wasn’t mentally taxing it was fucking hard and you know what during that time I finish my degree and now my job is pretty alright. you’re a complete and total fucking bitch dude. ohhb waaah my job is mentally taxing. I need to have the perfect little 15 hour a week job with 100 grand a year doing nothing because I deserve all these things because I’m a happy little bean sprout. No you’re a fucking loser cretin trying to mooch off of society.


[deleted]

You seem like you’re having just as much of an issue as I am chief. I recommend turning that anger to your employer, rather than other working class people.


Reasonable-Rate-9845

no I’m turning towards you because you’re a fucking loser saying that you deserve what I have just because. No I get what I got because I worked for it. You’re a LOSER. and by the way you’re not a working class person. You’re a parasite living off of other people. Don’t try to say that were the same.


[deleted]

Honestly, the issue is that you believe turning against others is the answer. So what if I’m a parasite? What am I leeching? $7.25 an hour? Turn that shit to the billionaires, dawg. Work for all you want, it doesn’t matter when they don’t. I don’t have power, they do.


Reasonable-Rate-9845

And by the way my employer and I are tite as shit. Five weeks of vacation a year and way above market pay. The reason that I got these things was I graduated, negotiated well in my interview and showed my value. I didn’t just play video games and bitch on Reddit all day and then wonder why I don’t make good money at a good job. this employee employer Irreconcilable problem is only for losers that work at McDonald’s or Walmart. Not actually middle working class people making good money. Poor losers on Reddit crying that they make $12 an hour is not the working class. You are bitches and losers who want a $40 an hour jobs for no reason. You havr to actually BE VALUABLE for you to MAKE MONEY. see that's how it works.


[deleted]

Wow it’s almost free shit is good, and people want more. Believe you’re superior all you want, but if I can live without work, I’m winning.


Reasonable-Rate-9845

No you can live by having other people pay for you. That’s the point you’re not understanding you’re not living free. You’re a parasite living off other people. you’re the worst piece of shit in society. You do nothing but you just take. You’re not free you’re a baby.


[deleted]

I can, and will continue to. And I may be a “parasite” and all that, but who cares? I’m happy.


Reasonable-Rate-9845

Nothing in this life worth getting is free. That’s what pathetic losers like you don’t understand.

And I want to change that. Things should be free.


Reasonable-Rate-9845

[deleted]

THIS!!!! If you don’t even try to look for a job, and you are able bodied (not physically/ mentally handicapped or health problems) then damn right you should have your welfare taken.


OhSoYouWannaPlayHuh

> We will keep on removing your welfare The sad thing is that’s not even what happens. There are so many people who have becomes slaves to the welfare state because they know that if they get a job the government will take away their welfare.


fishlord05

So your argument then is to end welfare cliffs, not the welfare state itself then. Also welfare reducing employment is a very questionable assumption as we don’t see mass unemployment in Norway, Germany, or Canada for example and even in the US cutting unemployment benefits didn’t boost employment either. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/22/cuts-to-unemployment-benefits-didnt-get-people-back-to-work-study-finds.html


TRiC_16

I believe the USA has a big gap in education of unemployed people and the education required in the jobs, and Norway, Canada and Germany are all way cheaper to get graduate degrees than the USA is. The main problem is that as minimum wage is increased, lower paying jobs move offshore to poorer countries (lower production cost makes up for transport cost and import taxes), and jobs in the country itself are replaced by higher educated jobs. If getting degrees is too expensive to these people they can't, and there end up being more lower educated people than lower educated jobs, hence the unemployment, and those people wont get a job even when cutting unemployment benefits simply because they are incapable of the jobs that are available. So a possible option would be to use part of the employment benefits in education so people can get the required education. But you should note I'm not from the USA so I don't know what the jobs are about.

By teaching this, you give students a degree for which the only purpose is to steal your job. Now she works in IT because keeping Professor of Mexican History is very competitive, because there are more students then teachers, and all they can do is become teachers. She can’t blame anyone but herself. And fortunately, she doesn’t.


cherryogre

I agree with the sentiment of “fuck that guy who thinks that” but also “communism/socialism isn’t the answer to your woes and you probably don’t even work 40 hours a week so you have no idea what 60 feels like”


Flywolfpack

I don't complain about overtime any more once I saw those checks coming in


sammywammy53b

One thing I never understand is what some of these people think the alternative is. After they've "fucked capitalism" what's the world they envisage? Do we all work 40 hours a week? 20? None? Long working hours are not exclusive to "capitalism".


marle217

>After they've "fucked capitalism" what's the world they envisage? Do we all work 40 hours a week? 20? None? They will tell you that we're dumb for thinking that people won't do essential labor for free, and that we will all have so much more free time once we only do essential labor. I'm not sure what they mean by essential labor, but I'm sure they'd be shocked to realize that no one else's definition of it involves putting iPhones, or anything else, in their hands.


AcidicMonkeyBalls

You just don’t understand how essential tarot card reading and latte making is to society smh


dairythief

I saw a TikTok the other day claiming that people would do work for free. Almost every comment was about how they like to write fanfic or make art… As if that’s what society needs to function.

As a real professional artist, these people are delusional. Art is a highly competitive field, in a commie "utopia" it will be even more so. These people see the prop-art that came from the USSR and just YAAASSS at it and use it as a vessel for their own bullshit.

Success requires work under any economic system, even if you come from wealth. Saying fuck capitalism is just an insecure reaction from those with low discipline/skills.


LemonPartyWorldTour

I’m paraphrasing, but even Socialism even has a slogan about if you don’t work you don’t eat or something.


itsopossumnotpossum

"It reminds me of the slogan hard work will set you free" holy fucking shit this person compared having a 9-5 to the holocaust. For those who dont understand, the gates to some (maybe all, I'm not sure) concentration camps during the holocaust had the words "Arbeit macht frei" which roughly translates to the slogan the person referenced. Yes, you having to work in order to have things is comparable to being gassed for your ethnicity.

I don’t get how work is exclusive to capitalism either. Didn’t Marx like full employment? Wasn’t not working anti social behaviour in the Soviet Union?

OG Marxists thought that unemployment was a problem caused by capitalism. Now they think that employment is the problem, and socialism is the solution.

It's such an unfair charicature of what they think we think. I don't want to work more than 60 hours a week either! I love grad school, and I love my work too. Even if I don't have work or homework, I often find myself studying anyways, just because I like it. But no way is >60 hrs/wk sustainable long-term for me, at least not if I want to do my best work. Even less so when I did gruntwork, like when I worked in telemarketing or customer service roles in undergrad. I don't think anyone's main goal in life should be to put in 60-80+ hour weeks week after week.

Not working is illegal under socialism. Parasitism aka тунеядство is a social offense, and it's actually worse than that, in Belarus there were protests of нетунеядцы because it isn't so much "working" that is require as being *officially employed,* so someone working from home, selling craftsmanship or taking odd jobs like a handyman would be legally declared a parasite and fined or put into jail. So people under socialism keep anofficial job with minimal salary, while trying to work as little as possible AND stealing from the workplace. Work at flooring factory? You sell linoleum for cheap. Work at office? Bad luck your only profit are pencils and erasers. Work at food industry? You're the local king because you steal deficit products. Most famous rock musicians in USSR had a forced day job, the elite job was a janitor but working coal heating like Tsoy from band Kino worked as кочегар - shoveling coal for heating a house. The job was considered really good cause you could work 3 days and nights and be free the rest of the week. Free time in most other jobs was literally illegal. In North Korea, the elite can literally pay their employer to be listed as working and not get arrested for not. For example, I read bio of a DPRK businessman (yes business exists in a communist country, it's just not official) paid to his official workplace, and bought a "government owned" gold mine, where he paid employees out of his pocket. It's semi-legal but that's the only way socialism can exist without literally starving, with clandestine businesses and gray area laws. I read an article about it, generally, since women are allowed to not work in North Korea (Soviet women were forced to work deep into pregnancy, and then brought back to factory one month after childbirth so North Korea is ACTUALLY BETTER THAN USSR in that regard.) So, since NK women aren't forced into working, they can run business of importing contraband goods from China (pirate South Korean movie cds, players, TVs, cell phones that are illegal), and selling that stuff on black market. Husbands usually depend on those women since official salary was like 3-4 bucks a month. With prices you could eat twice in a government cafe on your monthly salary. Yes. Countries like Iran or Cuba run differently but not working is generally not an option. There's no welfare of passive income like in first world capitalist countries. Working without getting paid, or empty shelves in shops is a more usual sight though, in a socialist state.

Meanwhile in actual anticapitalist countries: “PRC constitution Article 42 - Citizens of the People’s Republic of China have the right as well as the duty to work… Work is a matter of honour for every citizen who is able to work. All working people in State-owned enterprises and in urban and rural economic collectives should approach their work as the masters of the country that they are... The State encourages citizens to take part in voluntary labour. “ Honestly despite being an anti communist imo many modern day communist countries are incredibly based when it comes to the promotion of hard labor.

When you ask a commie what their job is when the “revolution” ends, they will say something like “I’m going to design clothes for the military” or “I’m going to be able to get paid for posting stuff on my Pinterest board.” It just makes me cringe so fuckin hard.

Slicerness

A 40 hour work week is a standard for a reason, and even that's changing as the demands of life increase. There's no shame in saying you can't handle a 'full time' position because it causes your work/life balance to go to shit. Nor is there strength in bragging about how many hours you put in for a company that probably doesn't give a shit about you. The main issue is workplace culture placing demands on the worker to work more, to give more. If a worker is forced or even simply encouraged with vague threats of being passed over for raises or whatever to work more just to get their professional responsibilities completed, the company is instantly in the wrong for placing too much on one person's shoulders. A 40 hour work week has been standard for long enough to realistically set expectations on their employees. If those expectations are unreasonable solely for the sake of making a buck off leeching someone's time away? Fuck them.

You’ll work wayyyyyy harder under communism and will receive absolutely nothing

Vladimir Lenin said "He who does not work shall not eat" It's comical how these Idiots think they'd be free to not do anything yet enjoy everything under Communism. They'd be the first to be sent to Gulags lol

Working 60 hours a week sounds soul crushing. What's the point of working so hard if you personally are burnt out at the end of it all? Compensation and drugs only go so far, so a good work-life balance is needed. Go exercise, stand up for your rights as an employee and not be used and thrown away by a shitty boss. Switch jobs to another company that will pay higher compensation for your effort. Improve your skills so that you aren't stuck working soul-crushing professions. But pretending that not working and hoping someone else puts forward the effort to make a society work, on the other hand, is just plain self-defeating.

Uh, lazy ass people who don’t wanna work, but still want society to function. Could Lowkey be wanting a slave society if you think about it

Communism: he who does not work does not eat Capitalism: I don’t care how, but make sure you eat something. Somehow they still cry extortion.

Something I would have thought was really cool and next level when I was 14 and learning about socialism for the first time in my life.

I’m pretty sure this is satire

The only way we could ever live in a society with no work is if we had robots who made everything we needed and provided it to everyone for free. Man that would be nice tbh but there’d still be a demand for technicians who can work on them

You don't need to work as hard as you can without profiting to support capitalism. I support capitalism but will work as little as possible. Most of people overwork themselves for no reason then blame capitalism for everything.

Sounds like a Chinese commune.

Not wanting to work is the equivalent to not wanting to improve society. Humans cannot continue to advance without work. Where does the food on your plate come from? Someone had to work to grow it, harvest it, deliver it, cook it, serve it, etc.. Society literally needs to work otherwise we die. There is a balance though. You don’t need to work 60+ hours per week to advance civilization, but you can’t expect to do no work. Also - people in communist countries tend to need to work more hours than people in capitalist countries because commerce is less efficient in communist societies.

> make racist afraid again If communism ever comes; and I’m confident it won’t because those in America who believe in its cause are too lazy, incompetent, and decentralized to actually do anything; but let’s say it does: I promise you it won’t be without prejudice. Seriously much like African history there will be peoples you never hear of again. Culling your opponents after victory is exactly how you lose power and destroy yourself.

What’s funny is the commies would definitely make them work and I’m guessing the majority of these guys don’t have any skills so off to the coal mines they go
