> Capitalism sucks, free us from our labor

"Capitalism sucks" has become a pretty universal slogan, but traditionally, leftists didn't want less labor (that's what the capital owners want), but more control about their labour.

I agree that work as a moral goal in itself is pretty absurd, but as long as people's livelihood and participation in society is bound by it, it's still pretty hard to argue against.
