In fact, the New York Times reported that according to a study by Microsoft , "American workers, on average, spend 45 hours a week at work, but describe 16 of those hours as 'unproductive.'" Even more, America Online and Salary.com determined that "workers actually work a total of three days a week, wasting the other two."

Why do we spend 8+ hours a day on bureaucratic jobs that make us depressed and physically downtrodden, to buy things that don't really make us happy in the long run? Anarchism is the solution: small, local communities where you work for the direct benefit of others.

The idea is so simple and obviously better than any alternative, its a wonder why so many people renounce it.

black people do not act like they have souls where i live. All they do is lie, cheat, mug children, rob convenience stores, and steal all of the white women. Except for a few exceptions, they all hate me, before they even know me. Im not racist. i have nothing againt their skin color. I just hate the way they act. i liked black eople in the sixties and seventies, when they were funky.

Garrett, your a little confused.
For the sake of not sounding racist, hating the “gangster culture” is different than hating the “black culture”.

You may think all gangsters are black, but not all black people are gangsters.

I agree 100% with the article. And you shouldn’t be racist on an anarchist site. Anarchy doesn’t give you a label. Fuck you racist bastards. Im not black and yea I hate the fact that Black people fought for their freedom and are now shooting people on the streets. But I don’t descriminate them cuz of their race. Bullshit about their personalities instead!

just to make things clear, i’m not racist.
Aaron - 22 05 08 - 16:48

Selective perception. Aaron are you telling me you’ve never seen a white man cheat on his wife? Or a white woman to cheat on her husband?
Don’t you think wether a person cheats or not has more to do with who they are rather than their skin colour?

That should say, “For the direct benefit of others and yourself.”
