# Work
|
|
|
|
*Work is a glorification of [slavery](slavery.md).*
|
|
|
|
Work, better known as slavery, is an unpleasant effort that one is required to suffer, such as harvesting crops or [debugging](debugging.md) computer programs. Work hurts living beings and takes away the meaning of their lives, it destroys their bodies and minds. Work makes us slaves, it wastes our lives and is a cause of a large number of [suicides](suicide.md) -- many consider it better to die than to work. One of the main goals of civilization is to eliminate any need for work, i.e. create machines that will do all the work for humans (see [automation](automation.md)).

**[Fun](fun.md) fact**: the Spanish (also Portuguese etc.) word for work, "trabajo", comes from *tripalium*, a device made of three sticks used to force slaves to work. { Thanks to my friend who told me about this <3 ~drummyfish }

While good society tries to eliminate work, [capitalism](capitalism.md) aims for the opposite, i.e. artificially creating bullshit jobs and bullshit needs so as to keep everyone enslaved to the system. Fortunately movements such as the [antiwork](antiwork.md) movement try to oppose this, however masses have already been brainwashed to be hostile to such movements and instead demand their own enslavement.

[We](lrs.md) see it as essential to start educating people about the issue as well as starting to eliminate jobs immediately with things such as [automation](automation.md) and [universal basic income](ubi.md).

## How To Avoid Work
|
|
|
|
Here are some ways in which it is possible to avoid work:
|
|
|
|
- **Becoming as independent as possible**: living frugally, stopping consuming, using old technology, growing own food 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**: 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**: 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.
|
|
- **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.
|
|
- **Getting a disability pension**: if you are really disabled then you've already won, otherwise either fake it or bribe a doctor (e.g. with sex). As a desperate move a capitalist slave may even go as far as trying to cripple himself on purpose to avoid remaining slave for his whole life, however we can't downright recommend this as of course this can backfire in many ways. One possible way of doing so might be e.g. stopping eating and become anorexic (to many a whole life of freedom would be worth a few months of starving).
|
|
- **Faking sickness or getting sick on purpose**: for an employee it is possible to pretend to be sick to avoid work, to bribe doctor or break one's leg on purpose to stay at home and leech the employer and state is a possibility (of course we don't advice you to hurt yourself, just saying it's possible). If one just keeps breaking his leg over and over to avoid work, they will also likely give him some mental disease diagnosis and a disability pension so that he can stay at home indefinitely.
|
|
- **Leeching welfare**: it's a common practice to e.g. register at the employment office and then just take unemployment support.
|
|
- **Stealing from the rich**: stealing stuff from supermarkets, offices etc. is nice. It's also helping society. Do not steal from the poor.
|
|
- **Getting a rich partner?**: someone rich can just take care of you for sex and love, however it may be not worth it as rich people are often capitalists whom it's better to stay away from.
|
|
- **Moving to some nice community that doesn't force work**: the problem is actually finding such community, but maybe some hippie tent villages could be like that.
|
|
- **Going to jail**: in some countries jail are quite luxurious and once in jail you can just refuse to work as they cannot lock you up more. In jail you have shelter and food, i.e. already more than most people in a capitalist society. However watch out: for some crimes you may just get fined, not actually locked up, so it's good to study the law to know which crimes it's best to commit to safely get one to jail.
|
|
- **Become a prostitute (usually for [women](woman.md))**: it's easy money and you literally get paid for having sex. Unless you're real ugly it may be enough to just "work" like this for a few days in a month.
