I am trying to free myself from the system. Not easy and it won't go in one swoosh. One needs money, after all, and as long as I am not in the situation to replace my current source of income into a future source of income (it can be different and not only money based), I need time. And work related people. These people I have not around me. I lived and worked within a lifestyle which made me "independent", which means, not in close cooperation with others like me, because I was the "other" and not like those who already started to off-grid themselves, so to speak. I did not hate my life, yet I already started to change slowly. Now it has become all the more dramatic.
It's true what you say above. The thing is that not all people at once are able to put down their works. If I am not able to, how can I expect that from others? But the time is there to think more deeply and to be more present in what decisions are to be made.
I am an anarchist by heart, or better: I recently became one.
The question remains in which particular way "the exits" can be used for ones personal situation. How do you do it? How is/was your reaction towards those emperors you certainly have encountered yourself?
Step one was for me not to bend to the mask mandate in one of the institutions I work for as a free lancer. She fired me. Before, she told me all the compromises and requirements I would have to give my signature to. Which I said "No" to. Now I am standing on only one leg financially and soon this will be the end for the other leg too (out of bureaucratic and insurance reasons). After that, I will have no income and I won't apply for social welfare. I've been there and I don't want to go back.
It will be interesting times for me ahead.
Greetings to you!
Yes, some transition period will be necessary.
I'd suggest that if you have a job that must be done after the change over, once you train a replacement, and they are producing what you used to produce, then you are free to move about.
This book gives actual numbers, and this book gives a fictional outline.
This short story gives an intermediary outline of what a transition to full communism could look like.
Being new to anarchism, you might like to read the book that launched the modern conversation.
These authors have written quite extensively on the subject.
Escaping is near impossible without more of us in the population.
Until we can supply all the goods we'd need, we are trapped in the crapitalust system by the willful ignorance of those around us.
Good luck getting trained morons to read a book.
There is no need to burn them when folks don't read them.
They can be made freely available on the interwebz because of this, lucky for us.
Escaping or freeing is something different in my eyes. A full escape seems to be impossible. For we all depend on each other and I guess people are scared to become outcasts. For a good reason, as it seems. So, it's more of an art to be part of the system, yet to not let it take everything out of and from you. There is no pure homogency but differences when it comes to humans. Which is good. If we were all homogenized, that would actually be truly horrific and terrible. But we aren't and never will.
Yes, lucky for us having unusual inspirations. Thank you for putting up more of them.
LOL, yeah no need for burning books.
Anarchy is always temporary. Socialism and communism is evil. At least in a capitalist society, one has the opportunity to increase their wealth, and therefore, ease of life.
And ... ? What do you want to express to me? I am not sure how to react to your comment ...
