This is really important, and many people don't know this:
Reddit admins will step in and remove mods and change the mod team of /r/antiwork - IF asked and if there is a good reason.
Clearly the mods don't represent the members of the subreddit. Also, do you really want Doreen to have complete, unquestioned power over the subreddit as the main/first mod?
She can delete the whole subreddit at any time.
There is no reason not to get better mods in control of the subreddit. Reddit admins have stepped in many times and done this with subreddits that are large and having problems with the mods.

Admins generally reserve stepping in for situations where mods aren't enforcing site rules, encouraging or committing rule breaking/brigading, or have just gone and deleted the entire subreddit.
For cases like this where the community simply disagrees with the mods who made the subreddit in the first place usually their answer it's the mod's subreddit and if community members don't like what the subreddit is about then members can just go make a new subreddit and go there.

Then maybe they should go off and join /r/reformwork, rather than his horrible idea you're suggesting!
JFC this is why leftists end up hating liberals! /R/antiwork is and always had been an anarchist subreddit, representing a concept that has been big in anarchism for literally decades.
Why can't you just leave us alone and go to your own place instead of trying to take what we've created and claim it as your own!?
If a bunch of conservatives took an interest in /r/Obama, would it be ok for them to take over the sub and claim it as their own? I can't see the difference between that and what you're advocating.
