'''Mit'a''' () was a system of mandatory labor service in the Inca Empire, as well as in Spain's empire in America. ''Mit'a'' (federal work) was effectively a form of tribute to the Inca government in the form of labor, i.e. a corvée.

Operaismo (Italian for "workerism") was a heterodox Marxist political and theoretical tendency that emerged in Italy in the early 1960s. Its foundational insight, a "Copernican revolution" in Marxist thought, was to invert the traditional relationship between capital and labour, positing that the struggles of the working class were the primary driving force of capitalist development. Capital, in this view, does not develop along its own internal laws but is forced to restructure and innovate in response to working-class antagonism.

r/antiwork is a subreddit associated with contemporary labor movements, critique of work, corporate capitalism and the anti-work movement.
