If You Imagine That Everything

It's True That Most American Citizens Think Of Themselves As Living In A Democratic Country. But When Was The Last Time That Any Americans Actually Sat Down And Came To A Collective Decision? Maybe If They Are Ordering Pizzas, But Basically Never.

It Affects Every Aspect Of Our Lives, Is Often Said To Be The Root Of All Evil, And The Analysis Of The World That It Makes Possible - What We Call 'the Economy' - Is So Important To Us That Economists Have Become The High Priests Of Our Society. Yet, Oddly, There Is Absolutely No Consensus Among Economists About What Money Really Is.

We Are Watching The Beginnings Of The Defiant Self-assertion Of A New Generation Of Americans, A Generation Who Are Looking Forward To Finishing Their Education With No Jobs, No Future, But Still Saddled With Enormous And Unforgivable Debt.

People Don't Have An Ongoing Relation Unless It's A Form Of Debt Because Everything Is An Exchange, So Ongoing Relationships Are Incomplete Exchanges, And Therefore One Party Is Probably To Blame - More Likely Than Not, Both Are. Sociality Itself Seems To Become Like A Matter Of Sin, And Inherently Wrong.

Anarchism And Anthropology Go Well Together Because Anthropologists Know That A Society Without A State Is Possible Because So Many Exist.
