The thing of such names is they cannot be hijacked as fas as I know. You simply can’t do anti-work-washing or create yellow anti-work union.

Actually that's usually the number one way if somebody combating you where they want to "kill the messenger", they hijacked a term and make it mean something different than it should be.

For example being a liberal used to mean one thing and then conservances painted it in a different light, and now it has a negative connotation in our society to centrists.

Distorted anti-work is worse for capitalism than real anti-work because supporter of distorted anti-work will not agree to work at all.

I honestly read this four times, and just literally do not understand the point you're trying to make.

If you can elaborate on it so I can see what you're trying to tell me I'd appreciate it.

Fundamentally the point I was trying to make is that "anti-work", when people hear that they think "this person doesn't want to work for their living and carry their weight in our society". It's a very strong negative connotation, and usually it shuts somebody down from listening to you and to your ideas right at the start.

If your goal is a fair work philosophy then you should state that in the tldr name for it. If otherwise you truly mean no work, then 'anti-work' has a tldr name that matches that philosophy better.
