    Hahahaha most certainly not!

    I’m not saying I don’t work, I’m saying it’s unnecessarily forced upon us for the enrichment of the capitalist class and not required to the extent that it is for society to function in the modern age.

    A lot of business is just business for the sake of business. Pushing people to consume regardless of whether they want or need to, or not. If people truly wanted half the shit they buy the advertising and marketing industry wouldn’t be so big.

    If you’re on benefits for whatever reason, health issues (mental or physical), bereavement, disenfranchised, whatever, our society is so rich that you should be able to eat and have somewhere warm to sleep at night without being forced to perform labour against your will.

    To make matters worse, this is coming from the Labour party…

    I’m not saying nobody should work. I’m not saying there’s no benefit to work. I’m saying it shouldn’t be forced upon us just to exist. That’s just slavery with extra steps.
