I’m all for resisting the state. And I have been doing my anarchist homework. It sounds perfectly reasonable. It is the kind of political philosophy I am intellectually inclined to adopt. But right now my freedom, my liberty and my very life have been put in jeopardy not by the state, but by the mindless, psychopathic behavior of corporate America. If I’m going to rage against something, it’s got to be against that.

The dust has now settled after the economic cataclysm of a few years ago, and for the most part, the winners and losers have been sorted out. The winners–the 80% of the country that still have jobs–are ready to move on and leave the losers behind. Corporations are raking in cash, sitting on cash, and enjoying the highest level of productivity in history. Some corporations refuse to interview people who are unemployed. HR Departments treat job applicants like animals. Well corporate fuckers, the worm will fucking turn!

Governments at all levels–local, state and Federal–have done all that they can do and are going to focus now on balancing budgets, always at the expense of the people in the worst possible position to absorb yet another blow.

I like seeing the workers in Wisconsin standing up to a hypocritical, small-minded tea-party political hack. But, it would be a whole lot better if all the unemployed and underemployed workers of this country went out and protested across the whole damn country every day. Besides, it’s hard to be sympathetic to state workers WHO STILL HAVE JOBS! The unemployed of America are scared out of their minds. Eventually, when they have lost all hope, they will just get pissed.
