    Anti-work is anti-exploitation.

    It’s not about people wanting to be lazy yet still have all the niceties, it’s about not being coerced into a lifetime of labor to enrich the ones coercing you. A person’s labor should enrich themselves and those they choose.

      Anti-work is anti-exploitation.

      Well, then why not call it anti-exploitation? That would clear up a whole lot of things.

        I think that would cause a different confusion. I don’t know that this is a concept that can be expressed in a single existing word. Sometimes concepts take time before the right word arises. No sense blaming people for using the language available to them to express a novel idea.

          It is tricky to make something both snappy and accurate. I think anti-JOB might have worked better, but it sounds like a sex strike, so don’t put me in charge of marketing.
