Legalized euthanasia, we are now going to regulate working hours, and there will be those who dare to say that the one governed by one or another is the same. 40, 35, now you want to set the day of 32. Great. In other words, we have to work less and better every time. Marx himself proposed reducing working time to a minimum, as a precondition for overcoming capitalism. I have always belonged to the group of his son-in-law Paul Lafargues that, in addition to defending the radical reduction of the day – a three-hour day would suffice – he defended the right to laziness in Le Droit à la paresse, a vain theory in which bad languages gave the Caribbean origin of Lafargue; I do not have Caribbean blood, although sometimes it is the opposite.
But on days like today, neither Lafargue, nor Marx, I belong mostly to Bob Black's team. In The Abolition of Work, it is said that almost all diseases that can be qualified originate from work, or from living in a world designed for work. Let's think: we dedicate most of our free time to work, to go to work, to come from work, to recover from work. If we do a boring, stupid, monotonous job, we're very likely to end up being monotonous, monotonous, boring. And Socrates rightly said: the workers are bad friends and citizens, because they do not have time to take care of friendship and citizenship. I too, following Black, would enjoy teaching (a little), but I don’t want to know anything about the students who are forced to attend class and I refuse to grease anyone to get a place.
Once euthanasia has been obtained – but suicide is stigmatized – we will regulate working hours – but still diminishing work. I say, with Black, that the job has to be done.

Are we running out of shame? This is the diagnosis of several authors today. Is there no longer a look that can embarrass us? Another thing that Jean-Paul Sartre described in 1943 around shame is that on the other side of the lock, with the eye stuck in the key slot, a person is... [+]
