What we've been trained to identify as "work" under this power hierarchy is more definitively "toil". The definition has been overridden so that we cannot differentiate the bait and switch.

Work is labor that benefits the person doing it, is self-actualizing, is voluntary, and is an overall positive experience.

Toil is labor without clear benefit. It is not fun. It is repetitive and draining. It is often involuntary or coerced.

For most who labor under capitalism, the labor they perform is not actually work, but toil.
