The US and UK, days lost to strike action

If we're going to be subjected to the ramblings of desiccated New Left zombies like Paul Berman critiquing today's youth, can we also try to raise from the dead the best of that era's thought, like autonomism, Wages for Housework, and the Zerowork Collective? Never more relevant!
Zerowork journal
Comprehensive online archive of the Zerowork journal, an autonomist Marxist-influenced magazine based in the US which published two issues between 1975 and 1977.

May I suggest adding the Zerowork journal and collective to your list? The following is a good resource, put together by Zerowork member (and my former thesis advisor) Harry Cleaver: zerowork.org

They were coming to terms with the birth pangs of their class, we may be coming to terms with the death rattle of ours (or at least the millenarian vision of that zerowork future)

Känner jag nån som har koll på Silvia Federici, mer än bara läst Caliban...? Dvs hennes engagemang i Zerowork/Midnight Notes.

Letar till ett panelsamtal.

That was goal some unions discussed in the US back in the early 1970s before high unemployment was used to knock it off the negotiating table. I prefer: taking at least half of every increase in productivity (say 10%) in the form of (5%+) less work. Applied over & over gets you to Zerowork. 😊

Another day, another pamphlet. Today it is the 1988 German edition of “Zerowork: Politische Materialien zum nordamerikanischen und internationalen Klassenkampf aus den USA von 1975 und 1977.” Does anyone know if the "Forward" has been translated before I reach out to a comrade to do so?

The talk will cover Johnson-Forest Tendency / Correspondence, Chaulieu-Montal Tendency / Socialisme ou Barbarie, Italian Operaismo, Zerowork, Midnight Notes, and Processed World!

She's so important! Studying Wages for Housework was a revelation for me, along with Johnson-Forest and autonomist thought (my thesis advisor was part of the Zerowork collective). That body of work is still the main lens through which I view the world.

Looking for people to follow on the new site and feel like I'm ordering old drinks at the new bar without really knowing the ingredients.

"You got any Jehu's? Like a goldbug zerowork Marxist? Hates Kliman? Anything like that? No that's ok. What about a Hulk parody that does philosophy jokes?"

You know about zerowork? It became a bit of a mess, but their idea was essentially "white folks should just stop working and collapse the system." I've definitely heard worse takes. ;D

zerowork & refusal theory (work as revolutionary site), queer nihilism (non-normative identity, radical freedom), anarcho-primitivism (anti-civ, anti-tech), green post-leftism (eco-extremism, rewilding). sometimes fun, sometimes exhausting/

As long as labor productivity is rising, more & more is "getting done", i.e., produced, even as work declines. Getting to Zerowork is asymptotic. Don't set limited goals, instead choose policies that get you where you want to go. I my case the end of the capitalist subordination of life to work.
