Revision as of 04:45, 27 January 2022
AntiWork is an online community on Reddit dedicated to exposing the poor conditions of workers, promoting labor consciousness.[1] Despite its name, it is not opposed to work in general, rather it's opposed to the current state of work under neoliberal capitalism.
From a marxist perspective, AntiWork a valuable space for agitating the working class, but is currently insufficient in educating them in revolutionary and socialist thought, which could help to liberate the workers from their conditions in more concrete terms. (rather than winning small concessions within the capitalist system)
Forums like AntiWork could be compared to the role of the Pravda newspaper during the pre-revolutionary period in Russia, that of agitating the workers against the capitalist-feudalist system and heightening their consciousness to lead them towards socialist politicization.
Some moderators of AntiWork have taken stances against Marxism-Leninism on the basis of opposition to so-called “authoritarianism.”[2] This idealist and unscientific position is criticized by Engel’s On Authority.
As of Jan 2022, AntiWork is experiencing a temporary shutdown while moderators try to clean up the community from a recent brigading attack that was waged against the community.[3]
