It is always a hint from society to care about gain and loss, and few people can avoid it. The calculation and trade-off of interests is the current situation faced by many people. There seems to be an attitude that generous altruism can change capitalist ethics. But this view is very hypocritical and foolish. Because Puritanism itself is such an ethics - it is precisely because of altruism, in order to benefit the society, so we should be thrifty, be careful and work hard. So it's always going to happen over and over again: in order to fight capitalism, we need to develop anarchism projects; in order to develop anarchism projects, we need to be Puritans.

So the paradox arises. Is there something called "anarchic banker"?

When bankers ask people to follow altruism, they think it is good to be reckless; but when bankers want to ensure their own interests, all accounts must be calculated in place. When a bad friend builds a relationship for convenience, altruism is good. When a friend no longer needs a relationship, selfishness is good. Factory owners and entrepreneurs advocate altruism when they ask people to make contributions, and change their face when they pay wages. This is the interpersonal relationship of capitalism.

Therefore, it is necessary to talk about interests on the table in the face of encroaching friends, entrepreneurs and bankers. Many NGOs disguise themselves with beautiful ideals, but they strip their employees like entrepreneurs.

Both capitalism and socialism are asshole societies. Even innocence is a trap. People who fall into the bottom of society often believe in social fairy tales, which is the basis of Christianity.

So I tend to think that anarchism is not an ideology, but a struggle after understanding all the above. Some might say it's dark, cold, ugly and heartless. But for those in distress, it's warm in the cold. Just like Foucault's point of view, there is no "human" there. A free fighter is inhuman.

There are no "anarchist bankers.". The key to opposing capitalism and power is to reverse Puritanism ethics. Life is not brought about by frugality and health preservation, but by extravagance. Giving is not selfless dedication, but a process of struggle and creation. Hedonism is not to obtain the satisfaction of scarcity, but to create a terrible pleasure machine.

Those lost youth will not be saved because of frugality, it will only return in squandering. Time will not become more because of efficiency, but will be restored in freedom. Anarchism should not be afraid of money - there was no lack of money in the late capitalist society - but it should change the ethics of making money with money and exchanging time for money. It just lacks some flame, desire and profligate passion.

In this era of prosperous financial capitalism, the question of "what is your desire" becomes crucial. Because the strategy of financial capital is how to control your desire.

"How to measure the value of a project"? How to revalue?
