Are Those Tulips in Your Wooden Shoes?

So you’ve been politicized during college, by the Green party.  But now you’re more radical than that, you call yourself an anarchist now!  But you don’t have to quit the Green party.  Of course not, you can even run for local office while distributing CrimethInc literature.  You’ve learned all the new rules: add collective to the end of the name of anything and you can claim it’s anarchist.  Your wage slave job might someday be a People’s Labor Collective. Why not a Police Collective?  Or an Internment Camp Collective?  A task nobody wants to do?  Then everybody does it.  Don’t question production, you need to be respectable if you’re ever going to trick the masses into not being tricked.  Keep marching forward.  You do voluntary social work for people who’d rather be left alone.  Someday they’ll appreciate you.  The highest ethical value is: get shit done!  That’s why you are working with non-profits and lobbyists. You need to work within the system if you want to get things done, make progress, fix the system (strengthen the system).  Maybe you can work to end prisons by getting a job as a correctional officer?  Maybe you can fight racism by joining the Klan? We’re within the system, right?
