Paul Lafargue, "The Right to Be Lazy", 1883:

If, uprooting from its heart the vice which dominates it and degrades
its nature, the working class were to arise in its terrible strength,
not to demand the Rights of Man, which are but the rights of capitalist
exploitation, not to demand the Right to Work which is but the right to
misery, but to forge a brazen law forbidding any man to work more than
three hours a day, the earth, the old earth, trembling with joy would
feel a new universe leaping within her.

A citizen who gives his labor for money degrades himself to the rank of
slaves, he commits a crime which deserves years of imprisonment.
