'But under the current capitalist society, I would say take out as little loan as possible. Pay all your debt and work as little as possible to starve the upper class of labour. Use your spare time to organize and help your community."

    Only thing I would say is to consider unexpected healthcare needs and a way to take care of yourself during your elder years. Otherwise it seems like a good way to live.

    Well, that’s pretty much how I live atm. If you also live pretty minimal life you’re not contributing much to consumerism and ecological catastrophe.

    I am a strange mixture of stuff, and though I think my perfect political system will always be a decentralized anarchic one, I don’t think their methods of getting there are good, and that we need a transitioning with a centralized proletariat state. That’s just how I see it, though, I may be wrong or I may be right and yet you still don’t agree, or whatever, my point is that you shouldn’t discard marxist theory if you consider yourself an anarchist, or vice versa, since they interpolate a lot. Silvia Federici is an anarchist but her book Caliban and the Witch is pretty much an extension of the theory of capital accumulation in pre capitalist societies in Europe, where Marx didn’t take women into the equation. So that’s a good example of a revolutionary leftist that takes into account different schools of leftism, I guess.

        I don’t think you can apply the same method in all countries, that’s up to the people to decide and years of experience in real life to see what fits best to each geographical location.

    “to starve the upper class if labor” - you’ll never do that with lifestyle changes.

    Trying to minimize your participation in the rat race is a good idea, but not revolutionary in itself.
