@schalken i do understand the appeal to move beyond wage labour, and i think property would look a lot different if law was made by consent instead of force. but a consensual order means that people can organize in ways i don't like, and it's up to me and like-minded people to prove the value of our ideas.
i don't know what sort of sham-mysteries and pretensions Marx referred to, but the big sham i see is that the state is there to serve people, rather than being a powerseeking parasite.
