Anti-work is inherently reactionary. It tries to shift the blame away from capitalism and onto labor itself, that we shouldn’t oppose bourgeois labor relations but should oppose work as a whole. It also gives right-wingers an easy win since it makes “the left” look like buffoons who think you can abolish work, and fits into their stereotype of a lazy hippy leftist who refuses to get a job. You can’t reform a sub that is based on a reactionary premise from the get-go.
Yeah, r/antiwork is basically a roach motel for leftists. People there just moan about how terrible their conditions are, but don’t actually want to pursue any effective means of organization. It’s just politics of despair where people have no vision for how to improve things.
