Celebrate STEAL SOMETHING DAY
While the Adbusters enjoys Buy Nothing Day, a few self-described anarcho-situationists from Montreal's East End are inaugurating Steal Something Day.
Unlike Buy Nothing Day, Steal Something Day promotes empowerment by urging us to collectively identify the greedy bastards who are actually responsible for promoting misery and boredom in this world. Instead of ignoring them, Steal Something Day encourages us to make their lives as uncomfortable as possible.
We're talking about stealing, not theft. Stealing is just.Theft is exploitative. Stealing is when you take a yuppie's BMW for a joyride, and crash into a parked Mercedes just for the hell of it. Theft is when you take candy from a baby's mouth. Stealing is the re-distribution of wealth from rich to poor Theft is making profits at the expense of the
disadvantaged and the natural environment. Stealing is an unwritten a tax on the rich. Theft is taxing the poor to subsidize the rich. Stealing is
nothing more than a tax on the rich. There is solidarity in stealing, but
property is nothing but theft.
See you next Steal Something Day which, unlike Buy Nothing Day, happens every day of the year.
