We have obtained the not active /c/[email protected].

We need to know what you guys want to do. Do you want to stay here or move to the new community?

Please respond to the post if you don't want to use the straw poll. This will stay open for 4 days. And will end on Friday at 7pm PST.

I want to leave as much up to the community as I can. We will be needing some mods in the next week or so. If you are interested, please send me a DM with why you want to become a mod, your history of being a mod, and your discord or matrix username.

Right now, we have 221 subs. We have lost almost 3k that we had when the other server was shut down. :(

If you have any recommendations for the community, please share them below.

Thanks for helping

We live in an age of technological wonder and plenty. One person can today do the work of hundreds in the past, when it comes to agriculture and food production. Despite this, the number of people who genuinely want to perform labour far exceeds that needed to sustain our society at its current level of plenty.

The human species has evolved to live and thrive, and it is through the labour of producing food, shelter, and family that human beings live. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that such an organism would have evolved to take great personal pleasure in useful labour. And that is exactly what we see. Put a human being in a useful job, and so long as they can live comfortable and take some ownership of their labour value, they are immensely happy. Put a human being in a useless job, and they are miserable. Under current capitalist conditions it is estimated that 50% of people currently work jobs that provide no benefit to society. And yet our species is still alive.

If we were to eliminate capitalism and focus our labour on solely useful pursuits, such as production, education, love, support, logistics, and planning, then we would have far more than we have today. And if we were to do such a thing there would be no requirement that everybody work, just as there is no requirement at our current level of production.

The human race can easily, EASILY survive on the labour of just those who wish to work of their own free will. Of those who would get bored sitting around all day. So as to those who actually want to sit around all day - why not let them?

To force someone to work is slavery. That is the very definition at its most fundamental. And I for one do not wish to live in a society founded upon mass slavery. Especially not when we have the means to do otherwise.

End compulsory work.

Hi Antiworkers!

With what is going on with the [email protected] server. We had to make a decision and move to a different server. Unfortunately, this means we lost all of our content. Posts, comments, and subs.

That's where we need you. Please post here to bring this place back to the spotlight. Crosspost if you're on PC. Or post new things that everyone here at Antiwork wants to take part in.
