- About me
Currently studying Sociology and Social Anthropology in Budapest. I am developing an MA thesis that I could use some help with about the tactic of workplace/factory occupation and how it relates to authority, property, and valuation. I am looking for interview sources, field sites, references, whatever you got. I can conduct research in English, French, Spanish and Italian (with help) so I'd appreciate any links in areas where those languages are spoken. Thanks for any help or advice you might have!

- What do your politics mean to you?
For me, the question of anarchism largely boils down to a question of legitimacy; legitimacy of authority, legitimacy of interpersonal practice, legitimacy of property. I have a social/cultural anthropology background and a very frustrating labor history. My inability to successfully organize my workplaces (one food service job and another private education) coupled with my obsession with theories of practice and unfailing Utopian imagination have converged into a course of study that I hope will help to understand the nature of capitalism on an interpersonal basis and therefore how to (at best) subvert it or (at worst) live under it better.
