Looking to Better Understand Anti-work Movement

You are underthinking it. And that's coming from a guy who has basically "winged it" his entire life with moderate success.

Great, you have an outcome you want to see. Good to have goals. But all you've suggested is that we need to change X, Y, and Z, with suggestions on how changes to X, Y, or Z could be implemented.

How do we stop rewarding oligarchs? How do we stop the public's worship of them?

You are afflicted by "simplism". I am not calling you simple, but you are doing the same thing I was doing like...15 years ago. You are reducing the severity the problems mentioned (greedy oligarchs, abolishing capitalism) to their most simplistic representation, as if they are the sole problem, and ignoring the hundreds or thousands of complicating factors. If I had to guess, I would say you were 16-18. Naive with good intentions.

The changes we need to go through are generational. You and I will likely be long dead before that happens!

That said, I'm just splashing a little realism on your comments. I agree that the current system is busted and needs a major overhaul.
