So people are obviously confused by my anti-work talk. I know I sure was when someone first mentioned it to me. So I'll explain just a bit of what i mean.
Work is the labor you are forced to do under capitalism to survive. As anarchists, we believe that nobody should force us to do anything that we don't want to. Especially not to survive. Ultimately, it should be our choice what we do with our own bodies.
Being for a world where work is abolished does not mean that people should be forced to stop putting forth labor if they so choose. Because again, we believe that it should be up to the individual what they do. meaning that we want to put an end to being forced to labor.
But i also mean that the way to beat the bosses is not through work-place organizing. You are still just generating capital for your boss instead of taking away their means of gaining capital.
Yes, I understand that some of y'all are in positions where you have no choice but to work, and that's what I'm against. The capitalists try to not give us any other choice. To them, we are nothing but a means of gaining wealth & power. I want to stress that you shouldn't be under the impression that you're going to beat them by using their source of capital against them. It benefits them far more than it does you.
I used to let people put a lot of pressure on me anytime I lost a job because capitalism tells us that our value comes from working. This is in order to keep us productive and generating capital. I personally don't even mind putting in labor. I've worked plenty of very demanding jobs & gotten fulfillment from them. I've even helped family build houses & other structures. Its just that I want it to be my choice whether or not I put in labor.
I honestly don't like working all year round & don't like being expected to do anything against my will. And I feel foolish for ever letting anyone get me down about that in the first place.
And I ESPECIALLY hate being a source of wealth for some boss.
So
i'm not anti-work because I'm lazy. But even if I was, why would it matter? Its my life & my value as a person doesn't come from my contribution to capitalism.
Anyone judging me for a refusal to work is regurgitating capitalist propaganda.
This IS me reclaiming my freedom from capitalism.
Tbh tho, I guess I can be pretty lazy sometimes. Lol.
But like I said, Its my freedom to do so & criticising me for that is just you feeding into the hands of the capitalists who seek to benefit from my productivity.
I'm sorry that I made those of you who have been put in a hard place by capitalism feel like I'm shaming you for it. That's wasn't my intention. I apologize. My intention is to let many people who are able know that they do have the power to reclaim their freedom from capitalism in a way that doesn't attempt to use the means of capitalists against them.
I want people to know that we CAN reclaim our labor.
That we CAN reclaim our housing.
That we CAN take care of each other instead of just fending for ourselves.
I am living proof that this is possible.
And I'm sorry that I'm so grumpy lately, but I'm really tired of portland leftists who keep calling me a lifestyle anarchist & shunning me for taking action to free myself as much as I can from capitalism & letting others know that we can reclaim what they are taking from us.
Damn right I'm a lifestyle anarchist. I'm claiming that word from the people who throw it at me. Because I DO live anarchy to the best of my ability instead of waiting on some revolution that will likely never come to liberate me. And I've never been so free in my life.
I'm not waiting for a revolution that will probably never come like the generations before me have. I'm not waiting on some conflict that I have a high chance of dying in to give me a life & society that I will probably never see. & I don't understand why people think they can have a revolution while conforming to the demands of our class enemies instead of physically reclaiming what they take from us & directly fighting back against them.
