[1][2] The Manifesto Against Work emerged during the time in which the New Labour ideology spread across Europe in the late 1990s.
The manifesto critiques both the prevailing principle that unemployment is due to personal weaknesses such as a lack of willingness to work or excessive demands, and a personalised criticism of managers or politicians.
In addition to the phenomena of neoliberalism such as wage dumping and the sorting out of people who do not meet the demands of this ideology, on the other hand, the anti-neoliberal left, which is fixed on a reactionary attitude towards the days of the welfare state, is also criticised for maintaining the paradigm of waged work as meaningful.
In contrast to weltanschaaungsmarxismus, the value-critical writing takes up the very dependence and not the "opposition of capital and work".
Since the historical role of the workers movement is also focused on a realisation of work, rather than the abolishing of it.
