Reality is God. Those who deny reality wind up destroyed by it.&#xA;&#xA;Selling 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 &amp; skill are highly valued you get to set the terms. I basically only accept work when it&#39;s stuff that interests me.&#xA;&#xA;But &#34;no gods; no masters&#34; sounds perfectly compatible with the purer conceptions of communism. Communism only doesn&#39;t work because collective decision making doesn&#39;t scale. And because hierarchies in knowledge &amp; skill &amp; as a result of differing risk tolerances &amp; different levels of ability to motivate &amp; organize people are natural &amp; inevitable with free trade. Once you accept that voluntary hierarchies will exist &amp; decisions have to be made by individuals, then you&#39;re an ancap.</html></oembed>
