I'm Jay and I joined here a few days ago.
I found this site while Googling around for anarchist groups. Couldn't find any in my area and am not really an anarcho-communist or the typical anarcho-capitalist. Any system works if you let it, it's just important to have the anarchist streak in my opinion. Of course to me communism is the only moral system (if it's controlled through anarchism rather than fascism [ie, all the modern forms of communism where the government controls everyone and routinely murders its citizens are fascist more than communistic]). Very few left-wing systems have ever properly been implemented, so they all get the benefit of the doubt in my mind.
Anyway, I came here less to talk of ideology and more to talk about social issues and such with more like-minded individuals. I am quite curious how people live, anarchists especially, in first world countries. There seems to be this dislike for consumerist materialism or possibly a general betrayal of monetary funds (where you didn't inherit money and work positions as capitalists all seem to share in). This being the case, I suspect anarchists are loners and victims of their own internal sense of political morality, or at least this is the case with me.
I don't wish to spend time with people simply because all they engage in is fascist-capitalistic entertainment. Go to the movies, play sports, eat out, buy things and yet more things. It never ends, and it really makes me sick if people define themselves this way. I probably act like a nihilist with how I've grown to hate things, but there it is. I recently moved out on my own and would buy things I needed for decent living, but now it's too hard unless I have literally worn out my previous items.
So yeah... I'm a loner, anarchist. I hate things, feel connected to the working class but find myself caught in the higher education system in hopes of being a white collar worker as it seems most practical. I'm into all sorts of music for the bare entertainment, though mostly it's for inspiration.
Anyway, happy Independence Day to your Americans, I'll probably be getting smashed in remembrance of how we used to be free.
