# 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)).

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 tips on avoiding slavery:

- **Become as independent as possible**: live frugally, stop consuming, use old technology, grow your own food etc. Even if you need some money, if you need less, you can work less.
- **Just stop working lol**: fuck everything YOLO style, 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. Even if not, living fewer years in freedom is probably better than living longer in slavery.
- **Save money**: obviously, saving a lot of money makes you able to retire soon. Watch out for inflation that destroys your savings, put some part of it e.g. in gold so that it keeps the value.
- **Get 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). Some may even want to cripple themselves on purpose to avoid beings slaves for their whole life, however consider all the possible ways in which this can go wrong. One possible way is to e.g. stop eating and become anorexic. A whole life of freedom is worth a few months of starving.
- **Fake sickness or get sick on purpose**: if you're employed just pretend you're sick, bribe your doctor or break your leg on purpose so you can stay at home while leeching the employer and state. If you just keep breaking your leg over and over to avoid work, they will also likely give you some mental disease diagnosis and a disability pension, so this may be a nice approach.
- **Leech welfare**: it's a common practice to e.g. register at the employment office and then just take unemployment support.
- **Steal from the rich**: steal stuff from supermarkets, offices etc. You are also helping society by this. Do not steal from the poor.
- **Get 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.
- **Move 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.
- **Go 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 study the law and see what crime it would be best to commit to safely get you to jail.
- **As a woman become a prostitute**: 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.
