Puleeze don't do me any favors

But if all the ideologues (as they do) advocate work -- and not only because they plan to make other people do theirs -- they are strangely reluctant to say so. They will carry on endlessly about wages, hours, working conditions, exploitation, productivity, profitability. They'll gladly talk about anything but work itself. These experts who offer to do our thinking for us rarely share their conclusions about work, for all its saliency in the lives of all of us. Among themselves they quibble over the details. Unions and management agree that we ought to sell the time of our lives in exchange for survival, although they haggle over the price. Marxists think we should be bossed by bureaucrats. Libertarians think we should be bossed by businessmen. Feminists don't care which form bossing takes so long as the bosses are women. Clearly these ideology-mongers have serious differences over how to divvy up the spoils of power. Just as clearly, none of them have any objection to power as such and all of them want to keep us working."

If you and your freinds all Stop working,the empire will stop existing.Organize and stop and empire will STOP.Because the rich depend on US to fund thier machines of empire we create the weapons manufacture them,we run the papers clean the tiolets deliver"their good"
The gears will stop moving on the machine,if we'd just stop turning the crank in response to the overseers threats of miserty and want.No need to stop the gears with mass deaths that revolutions create..We need to be there *for each other* support one another grow food and share it,share our living spaces,learn to get along,learn conflict resolution,live simpler,and help each other through the big national"vacation"...this vacation revolution would change this country forever if we so desire it and non participation is one weapon authoritarians cannot fight it is the essence of a free will.
No one can force you to work for them.They do not have _all the cards_They can only cocerce people with poverty and threats of poverty.They can get other people with no ethics or who are afraid of poverty they pay to harass workers who refuse to work for assholes. But that is it.

Organize a MASS unemployment vacation while the parasites still depend upon American workers for SOMETHING..If we wait too long,they will have set up this game in India and Mexico...Get to know your own neighbors and neighborhoods.They already are outsourcing jobs..So you might as well get used to the unemployed way of life ahead of the axe..and refuse to be obedient to any self decaring "master".

1. It's from Bob Black's essay "The Abolition of Work" (1985)

The whole piece is in the public domain, too, so it can be posted in full.
