Tumblr @feywildwest employees should be allowed to steal, actually @feywildwest idk. yesterday was a slow day and at the end of it, I still stared into a cash drawer, one of three, that had more than my rent in it, even if you only count the 20s. I spent a lot of that day trying to calculate in my head how many hours of work equal one pair of pants, let alone how many hours of work equals the fun thing I want to do next month. I feel a cough coming on, because I work in a drug store, and all of my customers are sick. I always feel a little bit sick, now. I can't afford to eat well enough to keep my body healthy. Cough medicine is worth two hours and 20 minutes of work. Our store probably bought a case of cough medicine for they price we're selling one box. If this cough gets worse, I might have to call out, which will cost me more than the medicine in the long run- but that doesn't give me the money to buy the medicine right now. I stock a case onto the shelf. I don't buy any. A mom wrangling three crying, sick kids enters my line and sets two types of children's medicine down, says they're both on sale and thank god for that. I ring her up, and she gets very quiet, because she misread the sign, and her total is twice as high as she was expecting. Her youngest screams in the cart, because she's burning up with fever. Her mother very quietly asks, please, she's so sorry, if I could please take the more expensive one off her total. I agree, I move the box below the counter, and when she's not looking, I slip it into her bag. I pray as hard as I can that if she notices the "mistake" she says nothing, because I so desperately want her to have that medicine. The store has lost profit at the cost of a child's health. I don't bat an eye. This is a terminable offense. If I'm presented with the same situation tonight, I'll do it in a heartbeat. The myth of evil employees stealing from the company falls apart the second you realize the company would shoot you dead to make a profit. This isn't two equal players, one of whom is stealing from the other. This is someone fighting for survival versus someone fighting to make an extra million. It's not equal. Employees should be able to steal, actually.

“We are revolutionaries and insurrectionists”

“Revolution means, in the historical sense of the word, the radical reform of institutions, achieved rapidly by the violent insurrection of the people against existing power and privileges; and we are revolutionaries and insurrectionists because we do not just want to improve existing institutions but to destroy them completely, abolishing every form of domination by […]

Consumerist veganism is not sufficient

This article by Lynda V. Mapes is a reminder of how any emphasis on consumerist veganism as a strategy, or shaming people for their diets, is ineffective and, considering the opportunity cost, actively counter-productive. It’s not enough to stop eating fish, to convince all of your friends and family to stop eating fish, to boycott […]

Old Satanist yells at cloud

Reaction to Mitch Horowitz’s “Good, Clean Satanism,” a review of Anton LaVey’s “The Devil’s Notebook” It’s interesting that Mitch Horowitz found The Devil’s Notebook to be inspiring when it, along with Satan Speaks show Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey at his most obvious crankiness. A short version of late-stage LaVey can be be summed up […]

Fred Hampton still deserves to be listened to

Fifty-one years ago today, Chicago police and FBI assassinated Fred Hampton and Mark Clark of the Black Panthers. If it happened in Central America, we’d call it “a right-wing death squad,” but it happened in the middle of Chicago, so today it would be called a “police-involved shooting.” FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had said […]

“How Nonviolence Protects The State”

“What most pacifists do not seem to understand is that free speech does not empower us, and it does not equal freedom. … Free speech is only free as long as it is not a threat and does not come with the possibility of challenging the system. The most freedom of speech I have ever […]

“Post-Scarcity Anarchism”

No less alarming is the fact that we must drastically revise our traditional notions of what constitutes an environmental pollutant. A few decades ago it would have been absurd to describe carbon dioxide and heat as pollutants in the customary sense of the term. Yet both may well rank among the most serious sources of […]

Extending anarchist principles to non-humans

“It is not merely humans that are the victims of State, capitalist, and – more generally – hierarchical destruction: the common victims of this complex of domination are ultimately all forms of life on Earth. Peter Kropotkin once said: “Equality in all things, the synonym of equity, this is anarchism in very deed.” It seems […]

“What should we do?”

How can we be good enough for our own ideals and still win? We want to do away with private ownership and authority, which is to say we are out to expropriate those who cling to the land and capital, and to overthrow government, and place society’s wealth at the disposal of everyone so that […]

Animals as allegory

Zootopia has the common fallacy of animal allegory fiction that altho its message is one thing (“racism/misogyny are bad”) everything else about the universe runs contrary to that because there actually are essentialist differences between animal species. Something you notice about Robin Hood is that, for the most part, there’s no rhyme or reason to […]
