[ox-en] The Abolition of Work



BTW: Joanne suggested, that in English "work" describes non-alienated
activity while "labor" describes alienated activities. Would you
native speakers out there share that suggestion?

(from U.S. perspective....)
both are equally alienated, I mean people don't really make that distinction
with those two words.  "Labor" just sounds a bit more political or formal.

You want to find a word closer to "play", if not "play" itself.
For reference you might check out, Bob Black's "The Abolition of Work"
http://www.primitivism.com/abolition.htm

Using "play" may make one sound overly optimistic, but it definitely
emphasizes freely chosen activity, which allows for free association.  At
the same time it does mean a lack of physical or mental effort.
