Opportunity Knocks for an Anarchist Navy
by Insolent Media Center Friday, Apr. 03, 2009 at 3:20 AM

Shiver me timbers, the time is now!

Across the country pretentious losers are discovering that they can no longer afford their boats and yachts.  From Miami to Puget Sound, former wannabees are losing their shirts and as their economic predicament worsens that former sign of privilege, the private boat, is becoming an economic albatross.  All along the coasts good boats are adrift or beached, abandoned by their former yuppie owners.  Could it be that opportunity has befallen us?  Is it time to form the Anarchist Navy?

Imagine a fleet of seaworthy boats flying the Jolly Roger and invading the country's harbors.  What better stroke of luck could befall us in a time where jobs are scarce and booty awaits?  Why leave all the fun to the Somalis?  Thar is treasure in them thar seas!

Take, for example, this prime example of seacraft.

Sure, it's not very big, but it just might be what you need to get a foothold on a larger boat.

And if they yuppies are abandoning their boats, perhaps there are some good Hummers out there that could be inducted into the Anarchist Army?

If things keep going the way they have been, we can next expect to get us some blackhawk helicopters and a bank to boot!

Maybe this economic collapse thing is not as bad as it is cracked up to be?
