revolutionary politics

Contains the essay "The Right to Be Lazy" (1883) by French revolutionary and Marxist journalist Paul Lafargue.

In the essay Lafargue opposes the labour movement's fight to expand wage labour rather than abolish or at least limit it. Lafargue proposes the right to be lazy, in contrast to the right to work, which he deems bourgeois.

This piece is a companion to another from the Radical Education Department, “The Insurrectionary Campus: A Strategy Proposal”
