    What should we personally aspire to? Am I not to have a way to turn my hobby into a way to sell something? Just fuck those of us who want to make a little side money. Can’t have shit with anarchists man.

      Gatekeepers come online because they’ve been pushed out of physical spaces for their own BS. This person has cast out all modern context and is more worried about the words written in a book/pamphlet 150 years ago than the modern ideology anarchism has evolved into.

      The best part about anarchism is you can ignore tankie adjacent book thumpers and party with the cool kids who want autonomy and solidarity for everyone. Block and move on with life.

      Yes. Fuck any and everyone who wishes to use their private ownership to exploit others for profit and self enrichment. All profit is theft. Money needs to be abolished as economic system. It is inherently oppressive.

      Why do you need to make money? Can you not simply enjoy your hobby? Why must you exploit another for profit? Are you that greedy and selfish?

      What you should aspire to? Being a good person who has their needs fulfilled and uses their skills to help those around them also have fulfilling lives. What more do you need?

          Just because you’re not a fan or can’t imagine it because of the bullshit stories about how money was invented you got fed during ideology classes doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

          We has robust centralized tates building wonders and collecting taxes many centuries before we had money. Money comes from hostile transient populations doing war. It is cousin and fig leaf to pillage; it is a fundamentally military technology, as much as the cannon the MRAP and the air dropped mobile burger king-maybe a little more than the cannon. It is not necessary for and may be inimical to peaceful prosperous society.

          Please think before you speak.

          Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.

          It is entirely realistic. Money has existed for barely a fraction of humanity’s existence. It can disappear just as easily as it was adopted.
