MY HERO Paul Lafargue-friend to the lazy, and working class hero.

On behalf of all those hidden commies out there:

" Paul Lafargue produced a pamphlet titled The Right to Be Lazy. Like most of his 19th century contemporary activists, he condemned the twelve-to-fourteen-hour factory workday, but unlike his father-in-law [Karl Marx], he didn't just critique the conditions of labor--he went after labor itself. "In capitalist society," he wrote, "work is the cause of all intellectual degeneracy, of all organic deformity."

" Lafargue dismissed the "right to work" that other socialists demanded. He asked, instead, for the right to lie around on the daybed, the right to read and to nap, the right to feast and to make love. He declared the right to endless leisure."
