In the interests of policing every comment about my blog anywhere on the internet thought I'd comment.

Holy shit, that sounds exhausting. How do you find the time?

I was semi-joking, sometimes I just don't bother.

But the short answer to your question is: I'm a student.

Hi,

In the interests of policing every comment about my blog anywhere on the internet thought I'd comment.

@drethelin

It is self evident, but posts like that are intended to communicate the point to libertarians in a way they can understand (eg weird reductionist economist speak). I wish we lived in a world where nobody denied employers have power over their employees, but alas it is not the case.

@orphan

Work is necessary; working for a man in a moustache under hierarchical conditions is by no means natural (in fact, historically people have been incredibly resistant to wage labour and in many cases were effectively forced into it). It isn't about people being free from consequence; it's about their livelihoods and even life depending on whether someone who happens to own, legally, the means of production, decides to 'grant' them the 'privilege' of enough money for basic rights.
