I am, in the grand scheme of things, financially well off. I never really feel it—my life is dominated by a constant sense of precarity, that I’m constantly skating on thin ice, that one mistake or one emergency can bring it all crashing down. But I have very much benefited, in purely material terms, from the inequalities of late stage capitalism.

I didn’t become a communist and an anarchist because I am resentful towards the status quo. I did it because of how horrific capitalism is, how destructive it is to the people who weren’t as arbitrarily lucky as I have been. Critics of anticapitalism are quick to dismiss us as sort losers, as resentful outsiders. But I’m not resentful. I’m fucking furious.

The Internet is powered by cats. Doing my part.
