This is from, Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology. David Graeber wrote the piece back in 2004.

"It’s not just that anarchism does not tend to have much use for high theory. It’s that it is primarily concerned with forms of practice; it insists, before anything else, that one’s means must be consonant with one’s ends; one cannot create freedom through authoritarian means; in fact, as much as possible, one must oneself, in one’s relations with one’s friends and allies, embody the society one wishes to create."

A reminder that all the aspects of our economic system are made up and we can have a better system if we wanted to. Homelessness for example. We could have an economy that builds homes for homeless people. It does not have to be this way.

"Whilst this system is very much not working for the majority of people, for the small minority who govern this system, it absolutely is working. So all of thethings that make us think of chaos and catastrophe and apocalypse are creating profits for those at the top." @graceblakeley.substack.com

Politicians make excuses like "there is no money for the poor" because they do not want to admit how they have been bought. Applies to the UK, to the USA and many more nations.

This is a pretty funny story David Graeber explained from his book, the Democracy Project. We have all gone through 'late fees' and felt we did something wrong. Just be aware that if this happens to you again that the companies know exactly what they are doing.

I remember I once allowed a Macy’s clerk to talk me into
acquiring a Macy’s charge card, in order to buy sunglasses.

I sent in a check to pay the charge before leaving the country
for an extended trip, but apparently miscalculated by some
$2.75 when figuring the tax; when I returned a few months
later, I discovered I had something like $500 in late fees.

We’re not in the habit of calculating such numbers because
they are, even more than debts, seen as the wages of sin:
you only pay them because you did something wrong. In fact,
the entire system is now geared toward ensuring we make
such mistakes, since the entire system of corporate profits
depends on them.
.

It is a pity that the BBC never mention these details and stories of people on welfare when discussions related to welfare arise.

"Most rock bands started on public relief. If you give money to working class kids, a significant number of them will form bands, and a few of those bands will be amazing, and it will benefit the country a 1000 times more than all of those kids would have done had they been lifting boxes or whatever they’re making them do now as welfare conditionality."

From: A practical utopians guide to the coming collapse davidgraeber.org/articles/a-p...

"Neoliberalism has always been wracked by a central paradox.
It declares that economic imperatives are to take priority over all others. Politics itself is just a matter of creating the conditions for growing the economy by allowing the magic of the marketplace to do its work.

All other hopes and dreams—of equality, of security—are to be sacrificed for the primary goal of economic productivity. But global economic performance over the last few decades has been decidedly mediocre.

With one or two spectacular exceptions (notably China, which significantly ignored most neoliberal prescriptions), growth rates have been far below what they were in the days of the old-fashioned, state-directed, welfare-state-oriented capitalism of the 50s, 60s & even 70s."
