(6,335 posts)64. "your 'worker' and 'boss' BDSM fantasy" - ROFL
At least I find it hilarious -

Comment and rebuttal:
"as if "voluntary hierarchy" was compatible with an-archy"
Nope, if the two of you
Then anarchy is a self-contradiction. If I wish to hire a laborer to work in a factory I labored to build, and someone else is willing to be hired to fill that position, it would require a ruler (I suppose you would probably call them archons) to enforce a system of prevention.
Nope, if the two of you
Nope, if the two of you wanted to play out your 'worker' and 'boss' BDSM fantasy for a while no one would care. But you wouldn't own the means of production so that as soon as the 'worker' got tired with being bossed around they would be no one to enforce you claim of ownership. 'Communism' as a safe word I guess
"your 'worker' and 'boss' BDSM fantasy ... 'Communism' as a safe word..."
On edit - note also that "I labored to build" - as if s/he built it all by him/herself - right.
