Anti-austerity protest brings 50,000 to the streets of London | UK Politics | News

but your implying that people just need be freed from being useful

Useful? Wage-slavery is useful of course, to the users of wage-slavers. The more common word for user being employer.

then all people will rejoice at being useless

Useless? Foraging, farming, animal husbandry, hands-on mechanics, joinery, entertaining, educating and healing your fellows, raising children, cooking, learning to dance, sing, write music, write epic poems, building houses (together), weaving, mending, painting, planting trees, designing and building beautiful furniture or speakers or clothing (and so on) do not require a market system, or wage-slavery, or employment to be useful.

In fact, taking even a cursory glance around and really seeing the shitty clothing, the shoddy furniture, the endless, endless whim-wham and plather and chipboard and plastic and breeze-block and cheap, careless, second-hand, mass-manufactured crap everywhere, not to mention the harried, stressed ‘services’ and the whored-out professional ‘care’ and it is crystal clear that acting in the market adds zero truth, or use, or beauty to the world. Zero.

It is work that is degrading, not having nothing to do in a system that prevents you from acting outside of the market, that stunts the initiative required to be free, that forces men and woman to substitute collective, joyous activity for passive consumption of fun.

but that doesn't mean you can just suggest "get rid of jobs!" without providing an air-tight solution to the problem of ennui and uselessness that will inevitably follow.

This is the standard reply to criticism of totalitaria—provide details. There are no details that satisfy a negative view of human beings as, in your case, helpless, bored, useless, wasteful, etc, that need an institution or a state or a corporate system or a princely overlord to tell them what to do. Such deep ideological commitment to this infantilised humanity is completely immune to argument.

"Fuck the system" isn't an answer.

Anyone who has ever said anything worth listening to, in the history of human thought, has either said ‘fuck the system’ or ‘ignore it completely’… following, of course, the example of mankind’s greatest teacher—nature—who is, as we speak, in the middle of fucking the system quite, quite, completely.

To suggest otherwise is akin to teenage anarchist politics.

Anarchism, or libertarian socialism, although, in my view, deeply flawed, is still the most mature political idea there is. Or maybe you would describe Kropotkin, Morris, Miller and Chomsky—not to mention those successful collectivised villages of the Spanish revolution and the very early (pre-Lenin) soviet factory councils as ‘teenage’?
