It should really be called the Anti-Wagelabour movement, I guess, but how can socialists connect up with this movement? Some of the ideas swirling around within it are touched on in this thought-provoking article
Very interesting article. If you got access to the discussion, Robbo, you could draw attention to the article on Tang Ping movement in China.
A bit surprising that the article didn’t mention this movement. I see it mentions Marx’s Wage Labour and Capital. I didn’t think it was except as exposing wage-labour as being exploited. But all to the good if people read it as well as the pamphlets by Paul Lafargue and Bob Black.
In any event, we definitely have a lot to say on the subject, including this editorial from November 1971.
Was Fox TV, the right media to present the case to abolish work?

Probably not. She got a better deal on the BBC.
I tried mentioning the WSM in a post on the sub-reddit forun but they won’t allow it. Maybe others here could try to more subtly introduce the party into the discussion. This is definitely a target audience we should focus on
Perhaps by sneaking in a reference to Lafargue’s ‘Right to be Lazy’ and our publication of it.
While we may understand the rationale behind this movement, many of our fellow-workers suffer quite the opposite – the lack of work.
