I refuse to believe "communism is free time and nothing else". The manifest failure of bourgeois society is that "those of its members who work, acquire nothing, and those who acquire anything do not work." To assume what comes after is "post-work" is a truly bourgeois fantasy.

Jehu bases his opposition to wage labor on an idiosyncratic reading of marx which reduces capitalism as a process to the sale of labor power. The critique is compelling and unsettling because it writes class struggle out of communist strategy

Post-work is a way bigger tendency than just Jehu man. The slogan comes from him but there are plenty of people with similar ideas, many of which he engages with.

Fair enough, and the current post-work stuff coming out does seem increasingly indebted to him. I guess I think of him as the current End Boss of the ideology because of how prolific he is and his insistence on at least attempting to ground the critique in marx
