As a human being with my own rule over my own body I have the right to do with it as I please.
If I want to consume addictive cancer sticks until I die a slow, painful death, I have the natural freedom to do so, and laws, taxes or fines won’t stop me until I’m really locked away.
So I support other peoples freedom to smoke. It is just inhaling smoke from burning plant matter, which may be an irrational choice, but is my choice.
On the local news, there once was a short report about a local artist - some hippie-like old man. He drew pictures, but also played music.
He talked about this fantastic idea of his: presenting his pictures with his music. As an extra gimmick, he produced little slideshows or animations from his pictures, accompanied by his music.
He was so was proud, like he basically invented moving pictures with sound - which is just a fucking video, isn’t it?
The news also praised him, like he was being soo creative and a such an innovative artist - for making videos. Great!


But, automating work and eliminating jobs should make people’s lives… better?
Sure, but not yours or mine, it seems.


Is there an inherent need to have something like “businesses”? Do I have to be rewarded? Do I need all those niche products provided by those businesses?
Humans exist for a very long time. I am quite sure our ancestors survived pretty well without businesses, rewards, incentives, cosumerism or capitalism. Edit: And without billionaires. Especially without billionaires.
Genuine question: Why? What circumstances in an “Anarchist world” would cause this behaviour?
Or the other way: If you feel like this, what in our current system stops you from acting out?
