 **Slavery has NOT been abolished.** On the contrary, more people than ever are enslaved, and the conditions don't much differ from those of slaves in older times -- they are sometimes even worse. How is it so? Well, firstly slavery back then wasn't as bad as you see in the movies (just like for example a typical day of a cop is much different from what you'll see in a movie, it's a fucking movie) where you usually see black men whipped to row ships or slaves dragging stones to the pyramids while being constantly whipped until falling dead from exhaustion -- indeed that did happen, as it still happens today here and there, but it wasn't so common, slaves were often owned by a family and were part of it. Yes, they were owned, but your [dog](dog.md) is also owned by you, and you still love it and take good care of it, don't you? The slave was a worker but many times had a good relationship with his master, just as you can have a good relationship with your boss (who by the way also owns you, this ownership was just renamed to a "work contract"); the master didn't take pleasure in torturing the slave or overworking him to death for fun, he wanted to keep him in good shape and happy so that he would live long and do work for him. The slave might have had a relatively good life -- if he could read and write he might have been a transcriber or teacher of the master's children; [Diogenes](diogenes.md) for example was a wise slave who had great respect of his master. A slave could many times save up money and buy his freedom in a few years if he desired. This is practically the same as a work contract: yes, you can TECHNICALLY cancel your work contract, but then you won't get food for living, so [de facto](de_facto.md) you are in exact same situation -- you must keep saving money to be able to buy your freedom, there is absolutely zero difference except for using different [words](euphemism.md). Today's propaganda paints historical slavery as much worse so as to make seem today's slavery not so bad -- yes, it was bad back then but it is possibly even worse today (12 or 14 hour shifts, working whole year round, repetitive psychologically draining work in a catacomb under constant camera surveillance, ...) -- the only changes that we made are just cosmetic: for example we don't call slave masters *masters* but *managers* or *bosses*, your employer still owns you through your work contract (which again you technically "may quit", but won't because you need money, or because you would simply have to go to another slave master who will treat you exactly the same), we (at least in the first world) don't use DIRECT physical force (though we do use indirect one, e.g. police punishing [homeless](homelessness.md) thieves who HAVE TO steal in order to survive without working) on people anymore but we use a much more effective and cruel psychological, economical and social pressure (it works just as well and keeps the slave in better physical shape, and we can call it "[progress](progress.md)"), we no longer physically chain people in place because we can tie people down by holding their families hostage or making them dependent on drugs, and we can track down any individual no matter where he goes, physical chain is not needed anymore, another cosmetic change we call "progress". People commit more [suicides](suicide.md) from overworking than ever, that alone says something. Many modern capitalists put people under much worse conditions than old slavemasters, for example at one point Henry Ford allowed his workers only 10 minutes for lunch -- that's as fucked up as it gets. If you think slavery doesn't exist, see for example the documentary *Shipbreakers* in which you'll see today's people -- men, women and children -- in India in conditions as miserable as you could ever image, being forced to dismantle ships all day long just to earn a few dimes for food, breathing toxic fumes, getting [cancer](cancer.md) and going blind, dying on daily basis from no work safety, living in small huts on beaches soaked with toxic chemical poison. It's just a tip of the iceberg, and it is [today's world](21st_century.md).
 
-**Stop working right now!** Society has brainwashed you into constantly "planning for retirement", to keep postponing living for "later", to sacrifice the best years of your life, your whole life -- the only life you will ever have -- to do something you hate from your heart, to sacrifice time you could spend with your loved ones, by helping others, by creating art of love. You are constantly made to chase something and never just live -- you are working hard to graduate, then to pass exams in University, then to defend your thesis, then to get a job, then to get a promotion, then to pay off your mortgage, and suddenly you are 70 years old and your life is gone. Do not waste your life like this, start living right now.

 Friendly reminder that even the agricultural peasant only used to slave during summer, in the winter he just chilled and ate the food he farmed in the summer. Gorillas sleep 12 hours a day and the rest they spend having fun, they don't work at all. [Capitalism](capitalism.md) made so much "[progress](progress.md)" that everyone is now a slave all year round :-] Even in feudalist times the peasants were obliged to donate just PART of their work to the overlord leech, the rest of time they spent working on their own fields -- today you donate practically 100% time to your slavemaster, you own nothing, you have no practically usable skill, you spend 100% time in your job and just go home to sleep and take a shower, you live in rented flat, you watch rented movies, you use rented software, you're renting your digital devices (you have to replace them every year or so because they stop working), you take drugs to make you not suffer a mental breakdown from it and you probably call this historically unprecedented [freedom](freedom.md).

 For lawyer cunts: we officially DO NOT ADVISE any illegal methods mentioned here. However unofficially we highly welcome them. Also for lawyers: fuck you. Here are some ways in which it might IN THEORY be possible to avoid work:
 
 - **Becoming as independent as possible**: living frugally, stopping consuming, using old technology, growing own food, making one's electricity etc. Even if one needs some money, needing less is always better, as one can work less.
-- **Just saying fuck you to any work [lol](lol.md)**: fuck everything YOLO style can be fun, just stop doing anything, go beg for money. You'll probably lose any social security such as healthcare and old age pension, but you may still get some minimum life support, and if you are extremely sick just lay down in front of main hospital entrance, they'll probably have to save your life even without health insurance. Even if not, living fewer years in freedom is probably better than living longer in slavery.

 - **Saving [money](money.md)**: obviously, saving a lot of money makes one able to retire soon. Watch out for inflation that destroys savings, it's nice to put some part of it e.g. in gold so that it keeps the value.
 - **Begging**: in some regions beggars make very good money, sometimes even more than a regular salary. Trying to look like a "street artist" may help, however just asking people NICELY for money will probably work in bigger cities where people can afford the expense. Again, be NICE, don't smell or look disgusting, DO NOT be drunk or smell by alcohol, say you need it for food or accommodation, don't fight with people who shittalk you, just politely leave and ask someone else. Find tricks that work (e.g. asking a couple may be more successful as the guy won't want to seem like a greedy bastard in front of the lady). Watch out for for places where this may be illegal. Change your spots or even cities often so that you don't become a annoying to the degree that someone would want to get you removed.
 - **Some professions come with long holidays**, typically e.g. teachers get about two months off each year, so you can try to find something like this. Also some seasonal work and so on. In some countries an employer is required to still pay you a portion of salary even if there is no work to be done and you have to stay at home -- you can strategically search for work in an industry that is going to stagnate.
