    When somebody asks for an intro to anarchism I generally don’t feel it’s super useful to get deep into the weeds of definitions.

    The salient point is no “I’m your boss do what I say or you starve” maybe “You asked me to teach you, practice these tasks or find another teacher”

      I am using the conventional definition of voluntariness. It is the people that are suggesting that wage labor is involuntary that are using unconventional definitions of the notion of voluntariness.

      Even if this more expansive notion of voluntariness was coherent, it would not be an argument against capitalism per se because capitalism can have a UBI.

      Hopefully, a teacher does not steal the positive and negative fruits of the student’s labor
