As I was saying, the transition from here to FreeBorn Anarchism is as simple as refusing to pay for things while continuing to do the work needed to have them in the first place.
I think it was Eric Frank Russell that first gave me the notion that things could continue just fine without bankster overlords living like gods on the backs of the workers.
His short story, And Then There Were None, was eye opening to say the least.
I'm sure you have never heard of it, but knowing that your education has been controlled by those that wish to keep you wage slaving away in the factories, it should come as no surprise to you, either.
Looking Backwards by Ed Bellamy, another ignored text, was the one that brought me to communism, but in it's original definition.
Getting from here, slavery to the crapitalust banksters and wealthy 'elites', to FreeBorn Anarchism will not be possible only by violent means.
The crapitalusts make money on violence, it is how they have come to dominate crapitalism, beans and bullets, yo!
No, if we seek to bring the social revolution to fruition, we must simply use Russell's refusal to cooperate with the system any longer.
The simple phrase, 'Freedom, I won't', is concise enough to be easily passed to the masses.
Complicated tomes and high sounding ideals won't pass muster with most of the mind controlled slaves, they will simply dismiss them and go about embracing their slavery because thinking is too complicated and unnecessary to their daily lives of DWTS, The Voice, and the Nightly News.
Only by keeping our messages to no more than placard size can they even begin to think about exposing themselves to repercussions from those that rule over them.
So, to be clear, FreeBorn Anarchism does not call for violent revolutions, civil wars, nor dispossesion of the wealthy.
We maintain that everybody keeps what they have and we simply move forward, continuing to do the work while refusing to buy it back from the crapitalusts.
The wealthy can keep their Maseratis, mansions, and bunkers in the Maldives.
I doubt that they can keep their servants once everything is free, but hey, somebody has give up something if we are to balance out the wealth of the 1% that has concentrated due to crapitalism.
As I said, they can keep their gated walls with broken glass keeping out the poor.
And the poor can go about living their lives without worries of rent, paying for skools, or anything else.
Everything will be 'free'.
Not free in the sense that robots will make everything, but pretty damn close.
There will exist, for quite some time, a need to give back to society as a whole.
The young will be expected to do their civic duty, whatever that ends up being.
We, as a world, could have already mechinized so many things that most folks will have nothing to do for 'work'.
They wouldn't have to wage slave in the factories for more than a few years to keep up the maintanence on the machines, but this could easily be done without a lifetime of 'work'.
They would be free to populate the moon and mars, but instead we have to give the Rotherfellas more trillions.
Smdh.
So, on Freedom Tuesday life will continue just as if it was still a world of wage slavery.
Whatever work you did on Monday will need to be done on Tuesday.
Except now, instead of answering to a boss, you can find someone to take your place in the machine, when you have them trained, you can go do the work you would be doing if you didn't have to pay rent.
So many people of working age will become idle by this that there will be no shortage of folks looking for new work.
It will be important that those in the know are prepared by centralizing places to look for work.
These details will need to be prepared in adavance.
If my job has become irrelevant where do I go to get a new one?
I foresee many public works projects, but the details will have to be worked out by those doing the work.
For me, FBA, to predict how these things will shake out would be presumptious and premature.
If you don't have work, ask your neighbor what s/he is doing and help them.
Go to where the work you wish to do is being done.
Manufacturing will need to be disseminated to cut distribution costs, so work should be available everywhere.
If nothing else, go to the space port and ship out to a colony on Mars.
Try doing that financing debt under crapitalism, I dare you.
Have a perfectly peaceful day.
Keep working, stop paying.
No war, but the class war!!
What is work and not pay?
Freedom.
No longer do we wage slave so somebody else doesnt have to work, and everything is free!
What does it mean in practice?
Why work at all?
Well, we have to work, if no more than pulling the potato from the ground and cooking it.
Now, if i got to make my own car i wont have time to make my own tp, and i need tp for my bunghole.
So, if we want shoes and flashylight boxes we have divide up the labor.
Doing the work, while refusing crapitalisms buy in, we get all the consumer crap with none of the poverty.
Finally a practically comprehensible reply, even if not practical.
First, potato is poison.
Second, what is tp?
Third, it is not practical, for more than one reason:
They will not go on such a strike, and are content slaves.
They exist around the world and also in your country.
There is also some slave labor in the strictest sense.
We can not compete against it, but we do benefit from it.
Building a car or a motorcycle from a scratch is practically not possible.
It requires a complete repeat of human industrial development, from stone age, through bronze age and iron age, through the industrial revolution, machine tools and more.
Now why would I work?
I do "work" in the sense that you described, but for much less than a minimum wage, sparingly, just for some extra I could do without and I do it while I do other things in parallel at the same time.
Forgive me, ive been answering these questions for a decade.
I tend to speak over folks head because they arent going to listen anyways.
This is not a strike, we continue to work, but when we go into the store we walk out without paying.
EVERYTHING is free.
No rent, no electric bill, just freedom.
Yes, no need to rebuild the factories, we just stop paying the crapitalusts.
You wouldnt be forced to work, but your neighbors may have a low opinion of you if you dont.
That said, any work you do want to do will be accesible to you.
Want to fly airplanes? Pass the ground skool and you are in.
Whatever you want to do, you will be assured of food, lodging, and clothing during the time you are training.
If you are over 50 you will do whatever you want.
Get on a jet and go somewhere, whatever, its free.
If you are under 20 you will seek whatever knowledge you need to do the work you want to do.
With automation complete that may be in advancing the sciences or populating the closer planets.
Getting the govt to rob folks so you can eat is not sustainable, better to legitamize the process by eliminating money, imo.
Then you are just a bum, and not an excuse for criminals to rob folks weaker than them.

Extend and pretend plus B.A.U.
Oil goes over $100.
Print a shit load of money and lend it to the frackers.
Oil price crashes, frackers lose money.
But hey, as long as we can fill up our gas tank everythings ok.
It's when the oil ain't there anymore to pump at any price that the shit hits the fan.
All money is loaned into existence, as principal for the loan.
Money to pay interest can only come from the money of another loan.
It is impossible to repay more money than is created.
Bankruptcy is the only option.
9 loans get repayed, one loan is dispossesed.
Without bankruptcy, and/or inflation, this fraud becomes all too obvious.
Only through ignorance of how fractional reserve banking works can it go on.
Ergo, the dumbing down of the masses.
Keep working, stop paying!
Yada yada yada, I know, I'm just tried of trying explain things to people.
Me, too!
So i made a slogan, keep working, stop paying.
They cant put us in more of a prison than we are already in,....
is a good start and then part 2 and 3 ;)
That was one of the first videos i watched while i was waking up, still relevant, too.
re fucking steemed
Ty!!!
yep yep ym!!!
I do still have to work for wages, but today I built my neighbors, who brought me beer and cookies (still warm!) Thor's day, a closet. They know I charge for my labor, and you shoulda seen their jaws drop when the answer to 'What do we owe you?' was 'Nothing.Thanks!'
I actually got goosebumps reading your post. I perhaps can't convey how close a just, free world feels to me. I almost taste it, like the crappy ice beer I drink to dull my senses til I can tolerate planning my next supply cache for when SHTF day hits (soon now, I think).
Thanks!
Freedom is in the air,...on any given tuesday we can have it.
We just need a few of the slaves to break free.
i totally agree withyou, i followed upvoted, please followme back xxx
