I have a friend like this and damn is he frustrating to talk politics with. He is convinced that his politics are cutting edge and transcend left/right but he mainly gets his news from msnbc. Never read any theory and seems to have no real interest in leftism. Likes to talk about "personal liberation" in some kind of vaguely spiritual sense. Trust fund kid who's never had to worry about money. Went to a fancy arts college. Feel like there are a lot of people out there like this.

    There is something that rubs me the wrong way when some worker centered anarchists talk about labor compensation. The way it's articulated feels very ancappy where receiving the full value of your work is strictly monetary rather than in the framework of a communal society where resources are shared. One of the worst takes I've seen along this line of thinking is that people who do not work should not be allowed to be a part of society.
