    If we made an anarchist society and we all get wiped out by genocide, at least we would die as free men and women, fighting for our homes and our lives. In the present we die as slaves and give our lives to increase shareholder value.

    People are so scared of uncertainty, and all of these “what if” questions are just thinly veiled fear and insecurity. I get it. But if we want to live in a better world, we need to find the courage to act.

      I personally am fully capable of leading a fulfilling life, it’s what I’m doing right now.

      I’m not throwing that away to be more “free”, it’s simply not worth the risk for me.

      I will work to get my current society towards more like what I want it to be though. Remember, the UK went from absolute monarchy to democracy without a revolution, if they were able to do that it’s possible to do the same with other systems.

        None of us are free until all of us are. If you’re happy benefiting from slave labor, I don’t have anything more to say to you.
