robert c black (usually just called bob black) was...
one of the earliest to advocate what is now called Post-left anarchy. His writing style is vociferously confrontational, criticizing many of the perceived sacred cows of leftist, anarchist, and activist thought. An unaffiliated New Leftist in his college years, Black became dissatisfied with authoritarian socialist ideology and after discovering anarchism he spent much of his energy analyzing authoritarian tendencies within ostensibly "anti-authoritarian" groups. In his essay "My Anarchism Problem" he writes: "To call yourself an anarchist is to invite identification with an unpredictable array of associations, an ensemble which is unlikely to mean the same thing to any two people, including any two anarchists.".
he argues that "the only way for humans to be free is to reclaim their time from jobs and employment, instead turning necessary subsistence tasks into free play done voluntarily" and "no-one should ever work" because work, defined as compulsory productive activity enforced by economic or political means, is the source of most of the misery in the world."
there's more, but let's move on to another

and then there's me, an unsuccessful writer steeped in bitterness and cynicism, a bit obsessive compulsive, an avid tv watcher and failed student of film... who, as you can see, enjoys insulting himself to a level beyond self deprecation, enjoys connecting himself to the likes of pedophilic serial killers and pornographers and anarchists despite being relatively content and happy with his life
