So the good news is we were lucky enough to manage to exchange some of our excess fish from our camp with the commune over the hill for some medical care, the bad news is that their doctor wants us to stick to a schedule instead of coming whenever we feel like it. Alright so who's in favor of killing that cop?

Like I've met actual people who want to abolish timekeeping and things like numbers. How can someone think like this? They take acid every single day until they are so incredibly stupid (and have thoroughly ruined their lives) that they think it's completely reasonable to blame their problems on timekeeping.

Like so much in anarchist "theory" they take a legitimate criticism of capitalism - i.e. industrial time - and divorce it from any context or reason

abolishing time is an admirable goal but until we as a society unlock a method for accelerating earth’s motion through space to the speed of light it will be impossible for us to all experience all of time simultaneously. these anarchists really just want to accelerate themselves to the speed of light so they alone can experience all of time simultaneously. typical libertarians in denial

fart simpson posted:what’s wrong with being on time to stuff to achieve a common goal? Nothing per se. In fact, social production requires some amount of coordination and rhythm, a fact that Engels was keen to point out precisely when criticizing anarchists. Amusingly, they accept his argument by way of rejecting time-keeping, but being fundamentally idealist, mistake the concept of abstract time as the thing that itself imposes the order rather than a tool in service to this or that mode of production. None the less, there is something to the idea that abstract time contributes to commodification and intensification of labor. David Harvey is a good source on this, for one. Capitalist society encourages us to fetishize time. As an example, there's a large digital clock outside a bank in my town that lists hours and minutes as you'd expect, but also lists seconds. What possible use could the precise second have for someone walking down the street? Time is socially constructed, and how you perceive or conceive of time depends on the society you live in. How will we conceive of time in socialist society? Minutes and seconds will continue to have use in many cases, of course, but will they play the same role they do in current society? That remains to be seen. This brings us back to the poster. Smashing clocks does not change a society, but a different society will have a different relation to time. As so often, anarchists put the cart before the horse.

What possible use could the precise second have for someone walking down the street? I know this is not what you mean, but I would be very careful with this argument, because down this path lies "Africans can't take medicines on a reliable schedule, because they do not know how to use clocks" I bring this up because for me, it wasn't just a scene from The West Wing - both of my parents, who worked in healthcare, brought up a similar talking point when referring to their patients from the countryside well before that show aired - that you couldn't rely on them to "take these pills thrice a day, every eight hours", because rural folks reckoned with time by sunrise and sunset rather than a more precise notion of time.

In fact, it directly contradicts my main point, which is that clocks pre-date and will continue to exist after capitalism. The problem that anarchists identify is not an issue of timekeeping; it's an issue of obsession with speed-up and precision in contexts in which they make no difference. That's the fetish. Being able to read a clock or take your medicine on a schedule aren't examples of fetishizing time.
