    Whatever you want to do for a living is fine as long as it doesn't interfere with anybody elses freedoms.

    Re: good jobs for anarchist?

    anarchists should be getting jobs in mainstream corporations. Why? So they can be subversive and destroy them from the inside out. (this also goes with my belief that anarchists should blend in and not stand out as much in certain instances.) It's scarier for people to not who who is an anarchist then to easily be able to point one out based on appearance.

    Acquire skills and put 'em to our advantage. Spread the knowledge and tools freely. Expropriate. :)

    I'm majorin' in sociology, but I'm not sure what good job that could get me without grad school. Might switch to computer science. =/

    Re: good jobs for anarchist?

    I am a qualified Youth Worker.

    I am still volunteering though because if I want to work in that area it is best to get a lot of volunteer experience. So I am tutoring Sudanese migrants/refugees with their English and other homework and I will be doing more of that closer to my suburb too soon.

    One of the Sudanese guys I am tutoring is doing a Diploma in Liberal Arts and likes sociology. Helped him with his summary of some text about class stratafication in the UK. I had some fun with that hehehe...

    But yeah I want to be able to show other young people how to do things for themselves because the government and welfare system just couldn't give a fuck about them.

    Re: good jobs for anarchist?

    Well it depends what you can, and what you want to, do. If you want to do something you're good at then go for it. If however you want to work and organise in a particular sector then go for something to do with the infrastructure of the region you live in. Like the train comapnies, freight and haulage etc... Organising workers in these industries is key for building a strong working class. It's obviously important to try and organise pan-industrially so that when truck drivers strike so do dockers and people in other industries.

    I'd say prime minister might be a bad job for an anarchist... But then again that wouldn't logically be inluded in "anything we want".

    The jobs that are the best for an anarchos is ofc jobs that is good for society!

    President < teacher , the president tell us "right from wrong" when a teacher is trying to learn us to make our own worldpictures!

    Factory boss < factory worker, the boss is the one making money when the worker is making the products!

    Re: good jobs for anarchist?

    To change the system, you'll have to start changing it yourself,

    I'm still studying, I work in the supermarket like 8hrs a week and I think the "bosses" are doing a bad job,
    so I'm going to apply to become boss of my team as well,
    so I can try to give people the freedom they need without making any trouble,

    I wouldn't want to be a boss as a full-time job,
    I don't like authority, but as an 8hrs job I think changing the way things work at our store is within my reach,
    so that job's ok for me (for now)

    Re: good jobs for anarchist?

    SUBVERT by Zounds... these lyrics sum it all up nicely.


    If you gotta job you can be an agent
    You can work for revolution in your place of employment
    If you work in a factory throw a spanner in the works
    Internal sabotage, hit them where it hurts


    If you gotta job
    Where they treat you like a slave
    Where they treat you like a zombie
    In their corporate grave

    If you work in a office making tea for the bosses
    While they are getting richer on ten time your pay
    They may think you're stupid but you're working undercover
    You've got the potential to disobey

    If you've got a job
    Cos there's nothing else to do
    Where they think they've got you trapped in
    The boxes that they choose

    If you've got a job you can be an agent
    If you work in a kitchen you can redistribute food
    If you are a policeman ordered to arrest me
    You don't have to do it, you can refuse

    If you gotta job you can be an agent
    You can work for revolution in your place of employment
    If you work in a factory throw a spanner in the works
    Internal sabotage, hit them where it hurts

    Re: good jobs for anarchist?

    I agree!! I think that society at large needs to also understand that ANYONE can be an anarchist. Anarchists aren't just some fringe group made of crazy people that listen to angry music, they're a group of people united by their political beliefs. You shouldn't be able to stereo-type an anarchist.

    As for me, I want to get into teaching (I'm especially interested in teaching languages), journalism, or as an interpreter for the Deaf.

    only problem is, the system changes you. the cash changes you. you can tell yourself you're gonna stay true but power ALWAYS corrupts.

    anyway, i'm gonna be a plumber or electrician.
