This is a pamphlet for all you Anarchist/activists explaining how capitalism steals from workers in order to make their bosses rich. This pamphlet then goes onto justify workplace theft as a means to correct this evil. It is meant to be left in a workplace or handed out as an inspiration to...

Hey y'all, Took a Four year break from the road to try family life. Learned a lot, lost it all, found Buddhism. Sleeping on a friend's couch and reconsider my options. Planning on doing some winter camping on and off while I dip my toes back in the water. There's a lot of new faces around...

Awesome. That news article had me laughing so hard. Especially the user comments below. Good job.

God I just want to be an ass and write "Then you haven't tried hard enough to fit in." But I won't. Welcome to STP. You're, in a way, lucky to have your housie life falling apart. I made the unfortunate mistake of falling in love and now find myself in a prison of my own make. Kept here by no...

If I was in any sort of mood to settle down, I'd be getting a house over in D-Town. It really is a pretty sweet time to get in there.

Guys, the cold isn't THAT bad. :p The trick is having good boots and decent Mittens.

We don't care if you don't care if we like you. :P Like your music. I'd listen to it.

I've read good things about it helping to repair receding gums caused by gum disease.

Well. Never seen that before. :P It's crazy, the shit that can happen.

Welcome to the site. Have fun out there.

Meh. I am with @Leadbellytherxrcur on this one man. You just have to (to quote a movie) let your freak flag fly. The entire time I was a burger slave at McDs, I straight up told everyone I was camping out. That I liked it. And that I thought most shit was in fact shit. Did I get sneered at...

Your girlfriend sounds awful, man. No offensive. She obviously doesn't fit well with you. I mean, a lot of people are in relationships that don't fit right, but people find a way to compromise. Sounds like she's just a drama whore. School sucks too, but whatever. Gotta bust through that shit. As...

Creature you are, as always, a poet with deep insight. I thank you for your response. I've simply decided to stop giving a shit about if my family and friends "Get it". Just going to do what I want, and whoever will be around will be around. It's funny how the only two people i've always known...

Not the worst thing in the world to be. :P

Because when you're on the road, the next adventure is just one hopped train or one out-stuck thumb away, and new adventures are what make life worth living.

Ah, where to begin. With a warning perhaps. This is a rant. Read, me bitching about my life. You have been warned. My family is annoying the shit out of me. I don't know where in the magical papers I never signed it said I would agree to immediately grow up and do things everyone else does. I...

What do you mean by that?

Also, just because the price of crude is falling doesn't add up to depression, to me. Our economy picks up when the price of crude falls, because gas is cheaper and people can afford to spend more and go places. I've always heard it spoken of as a "Tax Break" for the middle class.

China has devalued their currency because it makes there goods cheaper throughout the world and boosts their economy by doing so. A lot of people have been on china's ass to reduce some of the restrictions on their currency and make it more market based, so they did. As china is the world's...

Yeah, a few of us kind of worship anyone with sailing skillz, it being the ultimate form of freedom, obviously. Welcome to the site. Seem like a cool addition to the community.

Rip off. Struts are such a huge pain in the ass, and what starts off as just a strut quickly turns into like 30 other things, at least in my experience. There is a reason he is willing to give you 2k in addition to the vehicle, because the vehicle is shit.

yeah, he takes way too many breaks, that's why I only said good luck to the goat. The lady who walked across Australia non-stop with nothing but a few camels is way cooler.

Mostly I just take my pack with me EVERYWHERE. I detach my sleeping bag and tarp and just carry the rest with me. I love my bag, and I feel so lonely without it. I mean, we've been through so much together. I also do the sleeping in my clothes thing.

Good luck, LeeRoy.

Still better than McNasties. :P

They (the bugs) just want to party. They're probably trying to get there early so they don't have to pay the ticket prices.

Like I said earlier, just use your best judgement. There aren't many that tips to give. Take your kid into consideration in all the decisions you make, stay out of the desert with no AC, and if you get pulled over tell the cops your moving and you have a job waiting for you where you're going. I...

I'd kill for a little mundania right now. Ready for a home and a steady paycheck. Been traveling and kicking around this summer and I'm tired of begging and scrounging just to make it by. But I always feel like this at the end of the summer. :P Once January gets here I'll kill for the road.

I actually don't think that he's being that outrageous. And he asked tips on how to do something. Not on whether or not it is the right thing. I agree it would be pretty easy for CPS to take your kid if they found out, but I also don't think it would be that easy to find out. Just, as you said...

Read Albert Burneko's comments on the comments on his article. Seems like a real douche. Basically because HitchBots purpose wasn't valuable by his standards, and hitchbot wasn't advanced technologically, then it's okay for shitty people to do what they want with it and everyone who ever had a...

This.

As someone who is the loud social butterfly type, at least in MY experience, it's way more likely for you to be in to him than him to be in to you. At least for me, as an extrovert, I'm only really interested in someone who is equally extroverted, because I feel like such a person can "keep up"...

I am doing and not just talking. I don't see it as a waste to fight for a better world, and that attitude is a major part of the reason we can't achieve one.

you seem to have this idea that you can only have modern luxury through capitalism, as well as freedom. This idea is laughable at best. I'm not going to sit here and tell you to read books, because I abhor that and see it as one of the killers of this movement, but if you think that Capitalism...

So, because we are anarchist, we should never attempt to build a structure in which we have to have organization and leaders, even if that is the only way to build the leaderless world we desire? This is the exact bullshit I'm talking about. Talking about what an anarchist IS instead of BEING...

Obviously, as we are anarchists, each would try to help the 'cause in whatever way he saw fit, and no one would be forced to do anything. Those that like to make things would make things. Those that would like to connect with society and push our interests there would do that. And yes, those...

I very much like the idea of Detroit being that place, for reasons mentioned above. However, I don't think this has to be a single city, I think that it can take place in many cities. This idea is simply creating instead of destroying. Doing instead of writing. And focusing our energies in ways...

The point is, we need to create this community that we can hold up as a beacon to the world and say "Look, Anarchism can work. The world your living in is a 2nd class option on what is a 1st class planet".

You would have to come up with the money to fund things in D-town. probably through a lot of ways. The members of the group who didn't mind working would work for some. The members of the group who don't mind theft would steal some. The members of the group who are good at fundraising and things...

That's funny. I was thinking detroit myself. It is a city just waiting for a revolution to come along and pick it up. Any such group could stay under the radar long enough to avoid being crushed for whatever reason by the law, and would be welcomed by the populace. I don't expect the group to...

Yeah, go for it! The more people with the potential to get excited about it the better. I'd love to see this idea amount to something. I'm obviously working on it here in MI, but I have little experience with organizing things.

In what context? :P

While I agree that we do need a cultural shift where-in violence is abhorred. In modern society it is impossible to do away with its influence completely. I am looking more for ideas on how to put the plan I have outlined above into effect, so that we will have concrete objectives that produce...

So you're suggesting that while other members of organization X are acquiring materials and support to build these communities that are needed to make anarchists legit and to give us a presence and an ability to be effective, other of us need to be interacting with youth to create a culture that...

If we build these complexs that then spawn out into neighborhoods that then spawn out into cities, we can easily teach the next generation a more gentle and sustainable way of life with the earth and their fellow man. So the question still remains, how do we create these communities, and this...

Excellent idea, educating the young. The world can never change if every generation thinks about things the way the previous one did. So you're right, we need to teach the nations children, but in order to do that we need to either infiltrate the schools or convince their parents that a...

So I've been thinking a lot about the A-word a lot lately. Both a joke and a cause to fight for, depending on who you ask. Detractors claim that anarchy is either all ego-inflating status gaining talk or mindless pointless action. Proponents claim they are fighting the good fight. Fight a great...

Glad you got things under control. Have fun.

You only need a few emergency things. If you've got so much fucking food you can't pedal, then that is obviously a problem. A man I respected used to say, "Go for six days before you turn around. You can turn around after that, but give yourself six days." My first time out, I was scared as...

Yeah, they'll extradite you. The fact that it is so far away makes it a bit less likely, but for felonys they usually extradite. Stay under the radar. Also, welcome to the site.
