    Yes, I support No Gods No Masters too even if alot of it is far Left satire I don't fully agree with, all of their Leftist antidictator and antifascist ideas are good. It's also very good to be antiracist and against all bigotry and prejudice and open minded as an Anarchist, even though some tasteless Anarchist ideas can be clownish. Overall, it's a good nonprofit punk d.i.y. business even though $20 for a coffee mug is pretty outrageous.

    I'm not a Capitalist or working for Capitalists, but I need work. It sucks being out of work as a punk, and rejected from punk because I'm Jewish ancestry and not a prejudiced or bigoted Anarchist.

    I'm a Capitalist, just a poor schizophrenic one who feels that antiCapitalism is too corporate and getting rich off of keeping poor, marginalized, punks like myself oppressed, repressed, and suppressed. I'm just a Democrat, I Hate the rich and all pose(u)rs that think getting rich off of antiCapitalism is Hip, punk, and fucking Cool. Look, it's not fucking Cool or punk, it's just fucking prejudice and totally what's going on with corporate punks that keep the small d.i.y. punks like me out of business. I'm not saying I Hate every pose(u)r, but I just don't like how fucking prejudiced they are against Democracy and freedom. They're fucking dictators and hypocrites, face it.

    Sorry brother, the edit button eventually turns off, that's why I can't edit every post, I hope you understand and are fucking tolerant of me and my Democratic politics, even if you don't like me, peace, brother.

    I take it back, I just dream that I'm a Capitalist, but the chance of me being one is about has high as the chance of me winning the lottery, it's never going to fucking happen. In fact, I'm so fucking poor, pissed, and marginalized, ignored, hated, and disenfranchised as a schizophrenic dude on public assistance, the hope of me ever fucking getting a life is very fucking slim.

    I fucking Hate Capitalism, just the idea that anyone could be an antiCapitalist for Capitalism seems fascist, dictatorial, and disgusting! So, no, noone punk can have a Capitalist day job, we're all working class stiffs or disenfranchised and marginalized and out of work on disabilities. It's impossible for me to be positive about Capitalism, I Hate the fucked up system deep down. I dream of the Capitalist system completely falling apart and people taking their lives back from the slaveowners, so, yes, Capitalism is sickminded, and I refuse to be that delusional to think it's working out for anyone poor or Middle Class. Just be aware, I've been sarcastic about liking Capitalism, but really, I totally Hate the system and think it's a slave run economy by the rich for the rich to stay rich.

    It saddens me that some of my friends have jobs/support the problem system.
    I worked a job for almost 10 straight years, but luckily that allowed me to push myself & family into being self-sufficient. Unfortunately, I am not yet making my own - so I still pay some taxes.

    Nice, I understand. I worked for years as a graphic designer only to be pushed out of my field by technology and outsourcing overseas. At 51, I can't keep up with the technological advancements so I'm out of work and retired early on Social Security Insurance and a very small trust fund I received when my mother died of a brain hemorrhage and skin cancer. I can't really get back to work as it would cut my benefits for nothing but cheap labor. In no way am I saying punks have to fit in with my values, whatever they need to do to survive is fine with me.

    Back to the original point, yeah punks can be anti-Capitalists and still have day jobs. Most of us don't have a choice, it's work or die under the Capitalist thumb, and punks are too stubborn to die lol. But where we can, we should redirect some energy and resources towards anti-Capitalist ventures, like volunteer work, community gardens, dare I say even punk rock shows? As long as you're helping your community and not some corporate overlord, imho you're doing what you can with what you've got, and you can't really ask any more out of someone.

    I never really entertained the question seriously but if I were to give my answer real quick I'd say... "yes, of course".

    Not sure though, about the career part. I mean if someone is getting rich through some scumbag corporation and make their way up the ladder making a full career out of it, then they'd better put a lot of the profits from that where it needs to go. There are jobs I don't think are compatible with being a punk. But I could just as well re-word it into "there are jobs I don't think are compatible with being a decent human".

    in my opinion, yes. In this day and age, it is sadly almost an obligation to have a job, and it is almost always contributing to this capitalist society. But since you "have" to do it, maybe try to act against capitalism from the inside ?
