Right to Laziness

"Paul Lafargue makes fun of the 'progress' madness that humanity got caught up in after the bourgeoisie came to power. It is also possible to read the book as a masterpiece of black humor."
Point

"In his essays, Lafargue harshly criticizes the capitalist order and defends people's right to laziness."
Republic

"For people who spend their entire lives working, how much of this work is for themselves? Since there is very little of it, 'Long live Laziness!'"
Tempo

"Perhaps you are reading this book introduction while on your way to work on a crowded bus in the morning; among the documents piled up in front of you, watching the door; in the ten minutes remaining after lunch; or at home, while thinking about your work. The author of this book does not want you to live like this anymore."
Sun

"Lafargue emphasizes that being a worker and a working-class revolutionary is not synonymous with pain and suffering. While doing this, he hates the bourgeoisie, which is demoralized by compulsion and pleasure, immersed in pure laziness, and the false needs created. This voice defending the virtues of laziness is, from time to time, I hope it finds its echo among the workers and intellectuals who were exposed to Lafargue's harsh criticism..."

"Lafargue said long ago the truth that today's environmentalists now realize."
Social democrat

After the "Communist Manifesto", it is the most translated socialism classic into world languages. Curse on those who have a love for work!
