@20:15/20:18 -- i could tell you were addressing my two paragraphs. glad my second was on target for you, but my question is: do you not think every one of us is working some scam? employee theft has a long, fine tradition among regular proles, anarchists of course included. if you've worked retail, have you ever passed along your employee discount to a friend? have you ever flushed something down the company toilet that didn't belong there? ever been insubordinate to a supervisor/boss? ever participated in a slow-down or work-to-rule? ever under-reported income on your taxes? refuse to file taxes? have you ever traded food stamps for cash (i know it's harder to do that nowadays)? have you ever shoplifted? ever worked off the books? there are a million and one scams to circumvent the daily drudgery of capitalism, most of them minor (non-confrontational and having few if any legal consequences), but some are more serious, like full-time criminal activity. if you can figure out a scam like qualified or permanent disability, wouldn't you rather do that for income than work a shit job for a shitty boss? these are personal choices, and it's pretty unanarchist to take a moral position about someone else making those decisions for themselves. if you don't condemn people for smashing windows and looting, then you probably shouldn't condemn people for finding ways of surviving without accepting the 9-5. just a thought.
