Is Capitalism a Socially Accepted Form of Extortion?

Christian Fuchs claims anti-work is a mistake concept. Scholars have argued that the idea of work is stemmed from the capitalist mentality that has molded western culture. Fuchs argues that people need to work in order for us to stay economically strong and well balanced. The opposing argument is that work is inherently toil and alienated and must be abolished. Capitalism creates an unbalanced economy where the few wealthy extort the poor who have no other choice.






This short video sums up the pros and cons of capitalism. Do you agree with Fuchs that anti work is a mistake concept or do you believe work involves a socially accepted form of extortion?
