It’s good, folks. Just started it, but strong “hiding my power level” vibes to be more lib friendly.
We need more hidden power level stuff to wean normies off a lifetime of capitalist propaganda. Graeber was really good at this.
Normies are not going to read a book called The State and Revolution written by a guy they’ve been told all their lives was an evil Hitleresque dictator. But they might read “A sustainable future, how disrupting government can end poverty” written by a contemporary writer.
I thought this book was going to way closer to Malcolm Gladwell or Freakonomics, something that points to an absurd thing but doesn’t ever mention Capitalism.
Happily surprised
Graeber is an anarchist who coined “we are the 99%”
He will be greatly missed.
Been thinking about this book all goddamn day today. Fuck middle management, fuck “engineering” which is just making graphs that tell people they aren’t working fast enough, fuck all the jargon corporate speak zombies insisting my job has value, it has no value. I feel like a parasite.
Steal from your employee and consider your salary corporate funding of a dual power network. IMO, any leftist with even some disposable income needs to be funding the revolution/revolutionaries. A professional class of organizers. A vanguard, if you will
i teach, so it’s hard to ‘steal’ anything other than books, which are just as accessible online for the most part.
but i love the idea of stealing from work.
Steal time. Teach Zinn instead of APUSH. Teach test taking skills instead of test material and spend the rest of the time teaching what you want. Organize on your planning time. Refuse to send kids to the disciplinarian. Take attendance and then offer a hall pass to anyone who wants to cut class. Don’t fail anyone demographically likely to drop or fail out. Cover the security camera in your room with a hanging poster. Encourage adversarial readings of garbage like lord of the flies. Bring activists into your classroom as guest speakers.
Love this thread, we should all post a thread when we finish reading some theory and explain what we liked about it and do a short AMA about it.
Together, with our powers combined, we will read a book.
Just need to get 5 more comrades to also contribute 50 pages together, like Voltron, and we’re up to 1 book.
The appetizer: Office Space
The main course: Bullshit Jobs
Bullshit jobs saved me when I had nothing to do in my intership in an useless position and I needed to kill time
I have no idea how i got it, the interviewer just asked if i liked soccer and i said “kinda”. Apply to a lot of places and look up common interview questions.
Im now trying to get my first job halp
