AK is not "taking" volunteer labor, but relies on it to survive. to think that starry-eyed enthusiasts who have no understanding of how capitalism needs slavery to exist and be maintained are people who "had the agency [sic] to voluntarily give" is totally blaming the victim. the perspective in this entire thread has been on individuals, starting with that scumbag Roussopolous, moving through the dead Bookchin and his offspring, and including the signatories on the original document. someone else asked about Ramsey and AK, so that circle of perspective expanded to include about 40 or 50 people total. why bring the ridiculous construct "humanity" into the discussion that wasn't about that? my choice of descriptors have nothing to do with "humanity", but the very small subset that's been included in this particular discussion. your deployment of whataboutism is transparent, just like your blaming the victim. your objections are moral and rhetorical, not political or practical. nice try, though; you probably swayed a few other liberals.
