strivers done here:
"At this point it is necessary to denounce another pathological fixation of the economic age, or one of its fundamental slogans: I am referring to the modern superstition of work that has become common to both left-wing and right-wing movements.
Just like the notion of “the people,” “work” too has become one of those sacred cows and intangible entities that modern man dares only to praise and exalt. One of the characteristics of the economic era, considered in its most plebeian and shallow aspect, is this kind of self-inflicted sadism that consists of glorifying work as an ethical value and as an essential duty, and in conceiving every form of activity as some kind of work.
A future and perhaps more normal mankind will regard the notion in which the means becomes an end as a peculiar perversion.
Thus, work ceases to signify something that is imposed only in view of material needs of existence, and to which no more room should be given than is required according to the individual and the status of his rank; on the contrary, work is absolutized and seen as a value in itself, and is associated simultaneously with the myth of paroxysmal and productive activity.
Moreover, we come to a real inversion. The term "work" has always designated the lowest forms of human activity, those that are more exclusively conditioned by the economic factor.
It is illegitimate to label as “work” anything that is not reduced to these forms; rather, the word to be used is action: action, not work, is what is performed by the leader, the explorer, the ascetic, the pure scientist, the warrior, the artist, the diplomat, the theologian, the one who makes or breaks a law, the one who is motivated by an elementary passion or guided by a principle.
But while every normal civilization, thanks to its upward orientation, intended to bestow a character of action, creation, and "art" even upon work (see, for instance, the corporations in the ancient world), exactly the opposite is happening in the present economic civilization: even action (or whatever is still worthy of the term) is increasingly attributed the character of "work" (i.e., an economic and proletarian character), almost out of a masochistic pleasure in degradation and contamination."

The major problem with this is that it ignores the bottom 90% of people who are more or less incapable of performing higher "actions" as the author calls it. These people need to seek ways in which to bring themselves meaningful satisfaction with their lives. Their "work" is a primary source. You can't advocate the tearing down of work as a virtue in this context as, increasingly, the alternative means of satisfaction (family, faith, etc) are being eliminated by society and the state. They will be left with nothing.
As an example, look at retarded people who are given the opportunity to perform menial work tasks and what that does to their outlook in comparison to their idle peers.
