  • Yep. I get it. It’s going to be really fucking uncomfortable. I’ll be hungry, thirsty, sore, and will lose my concept of time. And then I’ll have a million dollars. How long will it take you to earn a million dollars in any other fashion? Unless your Jeff Bezos you’ll have much more accumulated discomfort and assorted bullshit over that period of time than just dealing with it all at once. This is a easy decision.









  • Not every society forces you to seek wage labour. This is only the case in capitalism.

    What’s an example of a society that doesn’t require work?

    You seem really hung up on the term” wage labor”. That’s not the only way to create or store value. But it is the most efficient. We could completely eliminate “money” but the concept of value would remain. And cooperation would only be more difficult and less efficient if I didn’t want to barter my chicken for your potato. Money, and “wage labor, regardless of who pays your wages, allow for the transfer of goods and services between individuals who don’t need the others goods or services now.

    The government would hunt them down.

    No they wouldn’t. Because except for your family and friends, nobody gives a fuck about you. It’s hilarious that y’all think this is even a possibility. I mean seriously, if I went missing tomorrow, would you know or care? And if not, why would anyone else?

    Are you really stating this as a genuine option?! Do you know how fucking expensive that is??

    This is absolutely an option. People all over the world do it every day.

    Moving seems easier, quicker, and more effective. But this could work too. Carry on.

    Anyway, always fun to chat with college communists. Have a great day.
