Reality is God. Those who deny reality wind up destroyed by it.\n\nSelling your labor to an employer does not make him your master. You are free to sell your labor elsewhere at any time. If your knowledge \u0026 skill are highly valued you get to set the terms. I basically only accept work when it's stuff that interests me.\n\nBut \"no gods; no masters\" sounds perfectly compatible with the purer conceptions of communism. Communism only doesn't work because collective decision making doesn't scale. And because hierarchies in knowledge \u0026 skill \u0026 as a result of differing risk tolerances \u0026 different levels of ability to motivate \u0026 organize people are natural \u0026 inevitable with free trade. Once you accept that voluntary hierarchies will exist \u0026 decisions have to be made by individuals, then you're an ancap."}
