It seems as though in-general the anarchist anti-work perspective would generally be pro-slacking off or doing whatever sort of stealing time, supplies, etc from employers. But do ppl feel the same way about public employees?

Edit: Love these responses.

why would it be any different? yes you might say its the people's tax money but it isn't. I no longer have that cash and cant do anything with it, it belongs to the state. If the worker needs it then why not take something? It's already not mine its the state's property.

"public" loosely means "government" in this context, imo

so yeah, please steal from government

I wondered if some folks would have had a differing opinion about theft of "their" money, but others spoke about that already.

eh, imo it depends. most of the time, go crazy, even if you do high-value theft, it doesn't matter/really only hurts shitty functions of the state.

but in some cases, like if you're working in some small department that has a direct, positive impact on people's lives-- no, save it for your next job.
