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.
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

Jehu's personal brand of post-work is pretty bonkers and relies on a prediction of an imminent automation of almost all labor. Most of the people I see doing it are anti-productivist and often anti-civilization, which are IMO pretty inane tendencies.

My favorite part is where the breakdown of solidarity among the working class is structural and can no longer be surmounted and that's why we need a rolling general strike in every industry all at once
