To be fair, a lot of the content on that antiwork sub was basically “communism is when we don’t have to work.” The whole thing reeked of propaganda intended to make the left look stupid.
Why is it that everytime someone on the left does something stupid online, it’s automatically propaganda? Why can’t it just be the case that there are a lot of politically and generally uneducated people that are part of the movement, which is consistent with every populist movement for all time? This has to be reckoned with and mitigated if the left ever wants to actually hold power and do something with it.
It’s funny you should ask. I use this language specifically because when I say that leftist communities are filled with cringe populism and bad political science, I get banned from .ml pretty reliably. Calling it out as propaganda seems to play better most of the time.
To be fair, nobody should have to work once Communism is achieved. During socialism sure. Socialism (worker ownership of MOP) incentives automation. Eventually there would be no necessary labor nor resource scarcity. Which is the only way I see communism being fully achieved. FALSC( Fully automated luxury space communism).
I can’t imagine that a sub against working is against working. Maybe they should have picked a better name?
There are always a few people who take things to extremes and make themselves look bad. The person who ended up being interviewed on Fox News made themselves look foolish on their own, the only real issue there was their views being treated as a thing that the majority of the left thinks.

Nah.
A couple idiots made the sub. But then it got popular and most of its users were way more rational than the people who created it.
But they were still the ones in charge of it.
So when Faux News reached out for an interview, they 100% believed they represented their user base and it would be a good idea.
If I’m remembering right, the mod didn’t even announce they were doing it. The sub didn’t find out till it was aired.
And Faux portrayed the idiot that came on as a perfect representation of all users of the sub.
