It's a start. I really hope it comes, but seeing the recent pushback on working from home, I'm not sure how long it will take to become widespread.

Let this be a beginning to the fight for the no work week (the end of capitalism).

I thought I had made my point clear but it seems not.

Work is a concept tied very much to capitalism at the moment. What I was going for is that it does not mean people will not continue to do work completely, merely jobs as they exist now should end. Currently people are forced into work in order to live and have to be somewhere specific at a particular time whether that is necessary or not. This needs to end.

Does that make more sense?
