The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club is excited to dive into Bob Black’s infamous anti-work manifesto, The Abolition of Work.
In this provocative text, Black argues that work is the central source of misery, oppression, and social control in the modern world. Moving far beyond traditional leftist demands for “full employment” or better wages, he advocates for the total destruction of the workplace. Black challenges us to reclaim our lives by transforming necessary production into autonomous, playful, and voluntary activity.
All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey, join us to discuss how breaking free from the cult of productivity is a necessary step toward building a truly liberated world.
