> The indignity of working-for-a-living is well-known to anyone who ever has. Democracy, the great principle on which American society is supposedly founded, is thrown out the window as soon as we punch the time clock at work.

Well. This is starting out pretty solid. Go on...

> Workers are far more effective when they take direct action while still on the job. By deliberately reducing the boss’ profits while continuing to collect wages...

A strike? Nay! To Quiet Quit is the way.

Many people assume that the United States is a democracy, but that's not entirely true. The founders of our country were wary of pure democracy and designed the United States as a democratic republic instead.

> Ultimately, of course, we need to create a society in which working people make all the decisions about the production and distribution of goods and services.

This is said as if it's obvious. Why should we create a society in which working people make all the decisions about the production and distribution of goods and services? Why not only let the most productive of those working people make all the decisions? Why not the most "intelligent" of those working people? What if working people vote for less hours and more pay?

Of those working people, who should be responsible for monitoring foreign competition, say by the Chinese? What should we do if the Chinese offer more for less? Would those workers also be allowed to control what the country can purchase? Would those workers then control not just the distribution, but also the importation of foreign goods, to protect national production? If "yes", then why shouldn't working people control not just the production and distribution of goods, services, but also the purchase of goods?

This article is a joke. It's ironic how an author of a post on theanarchistlibrary.org is telling us how we should behave

It is anarchist literature, that’s why it presupposes anarchist values

You can find introductory materials elsewhere on the site

It offers an interesting spin on quiet quitting if you read on, to provide better/cheaper service to customers at the expense of the employer

The transit strikes where they operate lines without collecting fares are a good example of this.

Another may be volunteering company time to contribute to open source (outside critical path requirements). What would be tech worker analogs?
