[quote=@Monochromatic Rainbow]Oxymoron alert.[/quote] It's basically this >be hedon >living in my own land >it's pretty small (only a million acres) but I don't mind living modestly as long as I have freedom >last few months have been pretty boring, I haven't even been able to visit other lands >their owners haven't yet decided to sign a contract allowing me temporary physical occupation of their property >business has been tough, a lot of employees haven't been able to cover their innovation quotas so I kicked them out >I hope they are fine, I actually care a lot about people, that's why I donate to charity >like that time I donated a penny to that charity contest >it would decide who would occupy the new vacancy at mr. shekelton's foundry >how generous of mr. shekelton to offer his employment capacity to the charity >thanks to men like him we live in this utopia >walking around the limits of my property I see a man lying horizontally on neighbor land >he looks malnourished and is covered in rags, he is probably an employee of the property owner >I yell at him "you lazy bum, you should get back to work!" >"don't you see how ungrateful of you it is to do nothing when the graceful owner of this property has generously allowed you to make a living working for him?" >he replies "sir, I actually am not an employee of theā€¦" >he couldn't finish the sentece, I had already shot him in the head >how dare he violate another person's property >nearby workers of the land look at me with hate in their eyes >I am not worried, they won't try anything funny >they know that any attempt to violate the NAP will be met with instant airstrikes from the non-statist private property protection agency >I tell you, we could never have achieved such efficiency if we had to consider "workers' rights" like a state would have forced us to >I go back to my mansion where I live by myself, even though I occassionally get visits from female employees, if you know what I mean >getting laid has never been easier since capitalism figured it could use women like property and currency >just another way capitalism makes life better for everyone >I get a notification on my surveillance device, which I use to keep track of my employees >Smith-36 will turn 18 today, how splendid >tonight I will probably visit the family >I'll be sure to bring the customary birthday omelette and the contract where she must sign in herself for life >it's just a little device I figured to prevent the eventuality of employees leaving for an employer that will offer them a better deal >certainly, only through voluntaryism can a person enter any contract he wants, just another wonder of ancapistan >oh boy, I remember the first time I introduced that contract >there was a huge outrage, but I told them that I would fire those who didn't accept, so they signed the contract voluntarily >matters have been so simple ever since >sometimes I just sell some employees (or their children) to another capital owner >sometimes I take the cute ones to my "private" "property", lol I'm such a playa, I got game theory hoe >so anyway, on my way back to my mansion I find a crowd gathered around an old employee >he is having a stoke, probably from exhaustion and his poor diet >well, if he wanted to eat anything more than junk food he should become an entrepreneur >junk food is like minimum wage, it's not meant actually maintain a person, everybody knows that >haha, minimum wage, good thing that went away with the state >it's better this way, now people are paid what they are worth >if employers pay employees less than their labor is worth, then they wouldn't accept the deal >it's simple economics everyone can understand, unlike that "surplus" bullshit they love to babble on about >anyway, Johnson-87 was lying on the ground, dying >the rest demanded that I did something about it >I answered that it wouldn't be profitable, his health was very deteriorated >the cost of taking care of his health would surpass the profit his work would provide me the rest of his short life >he lived to be 27, though, he shouldn't complain >another employee calls me tyrant monster and threatens to organize a strike if I don't do something >I fire him and then fire at him for standing on my property without permission >I then leave, admittedly angry, at the nerve of those worthless, selfish assholes >oh well, at least I've got enough property and profit to stay competitive in the market >all is good in hedonist land >inb4 wintergold scum tell me I'm dishonorable
