Sounds like the whole time you were/are the cup of tea of many people, even if they weren’t yours :)

I’ve been both. Getting up at 6 AM is usually due to obligations though

It hates poor people. And punishes those poor people by continuously poor-er-izing them

Sitting next to a (supposedly) random dude and visibly being comfortable and not nervous is a green flag for the programmer.

It means he’s showered in the last week.

Theory and reality are different things, absolutely - politics is labor. Whether that’s used for good or evil is separate. Politics also =/= statism, and nothing will ever be neatly cut and dry in the real world to fully divorce ourselves from these quandaries.

The beautiful thing about anarchism is it’s a space for hundreds of differing viewpoints (so long as they’re centered on non-hierarchical structures).

That said, I at no point mentioned force or violence in anarchist production ownership. Also where in my comment is there “keeping people out of a factory by force?” Having say over the day to day operations for the place you work is pretty typical of syndicalism, at least.

Bingo. If your hands aren’t operating the equipment on the daily, you shouldn’t get to (co)own it. Statism bleeding into work life is effectively diet capitalism.

“Workers own the means of production” is, in fact, anarchist but I can understand freshly-minted anarchists get turned off the idea at first by tankies lol
