Trabalhe Menos
Your work builds empires, but your salary is barely enough to buy bread. And you're convinced that you're not a slave.
This isn’t freedom, it’s polished slavery. Capitalism licks its chops while you exchange hours for crumbs, chained to a system where “work or starve” is the only law. We need a Molotov against the lie that your survival must be rented from the bosses. Occupy the factories, burn the corporate plantations and take back what is yours. The means of production are not their property - they are our stolen inheritance. Eat the rich or keep feeding on scraps.
Wage Slavery and the Altar of Profit
Capitalism’s greatest trick has been to rebrand slavery as “employment.” You wake up at dawn, sell your body and mind to a corporate master, and in return? A salary that barely covers rent, food and the antidepressants needed to survive the routine. This is neo-feudalism: your life reduced to a commodity, its value calculated in quarterly reports. You don’t “earn a living” - you beg for it, tied to a system designed to keep you exhausted, docile and too desperate to rebel.
Wages are slavery because they chain survival to exploitation. The boss steals the surplus of your work - the value you create beyond your salary - to supply his yachts, private armies and lobbyists. Amazon workers pissing in bottles to meet quotas? Uber drivers earning pennies while algorithms pocket the profit? These are not flaws. They are the solution, but for them! Capitalism thrives when workers are reduced to interchangeable cogs, their humanity crushed under the boot of “productivity”.
The 40-hour working week is a blow. It’s just long enough to keep you too tired to fight, and too dumb to think you’ll prosper. You’re paid not for the value of your work, but for the bare minimum needed to get back on the assembly line tomorrow. This is chattel slavery with extra steps - no whips, just credit scores and student debt. The mega-corporations know this: they lobby to end unions, suppress wages and criminalize homelessness, ensuring that you always kneel to receive the scraps from their table.
We won’t reform it. We will destroy it. We must demand nothing less than the total destruction of the corporate state. Once again: Take over the companies, occupy the warehouses and collectivize the farms. Burn the shareholders’ reports with them. The means of production belong to those who operate them, not to parasites in boardrooms drinking whiskey. Imagine neighborhoods run by mutual aid, not Walmart; factories run by workers’ councils, not CEOs; land run by communities, not Exxon.
This is not utopia. It’s survival. Every strike, every disobedience, every act of sabotage is a crack on the altar of capitalism. They fear your power to stop their machines, so turn them off. They fear your solidarity, so get organized. Revolution is not a hashtag, it’s a fire. If you need to work to survive, it’s not about right or left, you’re underneath, we’re on the same fucking side. Either we take back our world or we’ll die sweating for theirs.
