The Right To Be Lazy (1883)

This text critiques the ethics of the capitalist class, arguing that the bourgeoisie uses religion and moral doctrine to suppress the needs and joys of the working class. The author calls upon revolutionary socialists to dismantle these capitalist prejudices and establish a society that fosters the harmonious development of human impulses.
