Illegalism is an anarchist philosophy which embraces criminality as a lifestyle. It's the second part of the renowned and enlightened charter: "Be Gay, Do Crime"

This is a place for exchanging tricks & experiences, discussing trends & events, sharing shitposts, and connecting criminality to theory & praxis.

Inflation is just price gouging that everyone is doing.

Everything is worth what it's purchaser will (or won't) pay for it.

Pubilius Syrus, with a little modernization by me.

Lol I love it.

Not super related, but your comment got me thinking. People often ask "But what if you get caught? Is it really worth thousands in fines and months in prison?" but most career criminals would still come out ahead if you weigh the loss of getting caught once against the gains over their whole career

Unfortunate that stuff like housing and healthcare are among the more difficult to steal

Nah, they just need bigger numbers in solidarity. Good thing they've got us running scared, though. Whew.

Squats were decently common until the government started treating them like terrorists.

However, if lots of people decide all at once to squat, it becomes far harder to enforcez

An economic collapse is a collapse of a system of coordination and incentives. This one doesnt seem to keep its feet remotely under it for more than a couple yesrs at a time

The actual production needn't be effected. Your having shit certainly shouldn't be.

Edit: The fact they are is a failure of imagination and will. If you starve to death in an artificial famine, you have committed suicide for the glory of your masters.
