    I am extremely opposed to our present system of work, wages and economy, and I strongly believe that this civilization needs to be brought down, but I don't think this site really takes into account the extreme level of privilege that is necessary to adhere to such a philosophy. The work that we do in our lives should directly benefit our lives and our communities, not just provide us with abstract and meaningless rewards like money.

    Every animal must work for to survive. Its the natural thing to do, and it keeps us content. I like eating and surfing the interwebs, so I gotta go work.

    I like the idea of questioning the 9-5 ethic, but can we stop using the word 'slavery' to describe voluntary work for which a wage is received?
