Description
Finally available for the first time in a single book format, Abolish Work combines two influential and well-circulated pamphlets written from the frontlines of the class war. The texts from the anonymous workers at Prole.info offer cutting-edge class analysis and critiques of daily life accompanied by uncensored, innovative illustrations.
Moving from personal thoughts and interactions to large-scale political and economic forces, Abolish Work reads alternately like a worker's diary, a short story, a psychology of everyday life, a historical account, and an angry flyer someone would pass you on the street.
The classic "Abolish Restaurants" is an illustrated guide to the daily misery, stress, boredom, and alienation of restaurant work, as well as the ways in which restaurant workers fight against it. Drawing on a range of anti-capitalist ideas as well as a heaping plate of personal experience, it is part analysis and part call-to-arms. An additional piece, "Work, Community, Politics, War" is a comic book introduction to modern society, identifying both the oppressive and subversive tendencies that exist today in order to completely remake society.
