The government steals money from taxpayers to give to the lazy and outlaws feeding the homeless and starting a business.
The government bans guns so Americans must rely on the Gestapo for protection.
No one dares criticize the government if they will lose their food stamps, Obamacare, Obamaphones, and Section 8.
Yes, unlike business, which makes Americans dependent on their paycheck - the height of freedom, the ultimate expression of human liberty.
Jobs and wage labor are slavery once removed. The requirement for these forms of historical activity were imposed by force, from Enclosure in England to the elimination of non-waged forms of production in the Amerixas. The bourgeois State facilitates this use of force (as in the aforementioned use of Obamaphones for the purpose enabling workers to get off welfare). Impotent leftists like Eric the Green, who seek first causes in the stars and in themselves and in everything but the objective material factors of production in the society surrounding them, also help in this by perpetuating delusions about the concrete order of things.
I have never worked. I will never work. Neither will I enter market relations. I do not buy or sell. I happily receive welfare, and delight in knowing some angry small proprietor paid for it, all the while happily criticizing bourgeois welfare programmes for their role in perpetuating and reproducing waged labor. This, for myself, represents the ultimate victory - the total refusal of market relations.
