          I agree, but what is "leftism"?  Recognizing that you are a worker?
          Working with working class people?  If we stop doign that, whats
          the point of being an anarchist anymore?

         debating, I finally justified my actions.  I decided that although I
         am striving for a way out, I am a slave under the system currently.

       Is someone holding a gun to your head or did you freely agree to
       exchange a portion of your life to another?

Enslaving others rather than freely exchanging your services?
You are attempting to justify your religion by suggesting what
you are condemning.


Mumpsimus prior:
      Circular and religious.
       Your options are to trade for what you need OR force others to provide
       for you as your slave OR rely upon the kindness of others.

       for the right to be exploited and ordered about.

Actually, no.
