but you can still count stuff and be orderly in anarchism, in a practical kind of a way, I think. we all do what we got to do and strive for better. what about "office workers and anarchism"
I guess the one thing to think about is can anyone hire you that you would want to work for, as an accountant? would eventually you feel guilty helping them to propogate or could there be basic human things you can work with?
is this a move like when I tried to be a nurse? Do you find yourself enjoying some of it?
I guess action. just move and do. do the accounting and see what happens. or start to organize a group house and collective garden and build an alternative to capitalism. we can never be completely free. so the fact of just doing something... seems to me good...soemthing leads to something else and you never know what. all roads

Well- I dunno. For now, I'm just taking intro... if I go on with it, it'll take years to finish- and who knows what'll come up years from now.
But I do think it's kind of interesting- the whole- accounting as a means of justifying private property ownership kinda thing- while in real life, even radical and so-called anarchist groups need an accounting system to pay bills and such.
I feel like kind of a hypocrite working for the state- but on the other hand, it sure beats working for corporate industry. I mean- I do kinda like some things about our country that come out of our government: the bill of rights, public education (when it works), sure- none of this is perfect, but I dunno- in some ways, it could be worse.
