Most people who have jobs do not work because they want to but because they are forced by economic circumstances. Should we abolish work?

Well, if you're asking whether capitalism and economic necessities are the root of most of our problems, then my answer is a resounding yes.

As if non-capitalist system would get rid of shitty jobs and being forced to work.
