It not only matters but it's the second most profound question facing humanity after "Why am I here?"
Now that I'm here, how do I stop some other cunt exploiting my very life force, whether it be time spent doing activities to provide the basics of life (work) or time spent enjoying the rewards (Arsenal fucking football club).
Exploitation comes from the right, it comes from the left. That's because left and right are engineered divisions designed to pitch majorities against each other so exploiters can operate. A union might seem like a good idea but all it really is is an admission of defeat. If each man had the spine to stand for his own rights it wouldn't be necessary to hire the very bastards who exploit people to run the unions or the political parties or any body masquerading as a common good.
This abdication of responsibility allows monsters like Blair to slouch into influence, the pay-off for the inability or unwillingness of otherwise intelligent men, generally of sound character, to run their own affairs.
It is well worth the effort to put aside all these artificial paradigms and just take a look at how society is structured and how it operates. Take a real hard look. But have a stiff drink handy because it's not a pretty picture.
It's like religion. Why do you need a church and a bloke in a dress and all the chanting and collection plates just to pray to God? And are you the one fucking kids in the arse or is it the holy men who set themselves up as gods here on earth? Same story right?
