“Leisure” is a pernicious idea that evolved as a direct consequence of *compulsory* labor. In his book “Human Action,” the pro-fascist “libertarian” Ludwig von Mises* argued that leisure is separate from labor, and that labor, being unpleasant, is something we do only in order to acquire leisure:

“We can express this fact also in calling the attainment of leisure an end of purposeful activity, or an economic good of the first order. In employing this somewhat sophisticated terminology, we must view leisure as any other economic good from the aspect of marginal utility.”
