I've been thinking about this in relation to some of the other debates going on here and elsewhere.
If we have an anarchist revolution what happens to people that just don't want to work. I'm not talking about people who can't work, I mean people that just can't be bothered.
Do they still have access to all the food and things that everyone else has?
This isn't a piss-take question, just wondering. (Especially after Ian McKays letter against the Green & Black Bulletin in Freedom, which I won't go into here)
Interesting question. I've thought about it a bit myself, and I don't think there's a simple answer, but I think there are a few things that make it less of a problem than it might sound.
Firstly, you have to bear in mind that a lot of the 'work' that gets done now is bureaucratic time-wasting bullshit that'll (hopefully!) be obsolete come the glorious day. So there'll be much less work to go round.
Secondly, communities should be much stronger, so there'll be more pressure on people to conform (which could be a problem in itself, but that's a whole other discussion).
Add to that the fact that working practices will probably be more efficient (judging by examples such as the occupied factories in Argentina that've apparently reduced their hours and increased output), and it becomes much less of an issue.
