    It is to turn a fascist society into one that does not need them, one where it is effective to engage in social works and to collaborate with public institutions.

    And we don’t actually live in that society yet, and therefore protesting, feeding people, helping drug addicts, and doing odd jobs for your neighbors all remain punk af.

    JFC. Selling food without a permit is illegal. Doing most home repairs is illegal. If I install a set of solar panels for my neighbor and she pays me in raw milk and eggs we could both be arrested. Don’t tell me helping your community isn’t punk.

      It’s only illegal to do so if you don’t have proper qualifications, which you can easily pay for. Of course, that’s not punk, but not everything has to be punk if your intention is helping others.

        Proper qualifications for sharing food?

        Yeah, nah. Punk is resisting the state and it’s ridiculous rules. If a rule is good, we can follow it without an oppressive regime to tell us what we can and can’t do.
