   No, it isn't "capitalism" that I hate ... it is Mondays. I'm sure I'd hate them just as much in other social-economic-political systems as I do today. I certainly hated them even more as a K-12 student than I ever have as an adult worker.

         I think the idea behind anarchy is that you do what you want. The USSR obviously had it's problems and was obviously authoritarian. The problem with anarchy at a large scale is warfare works best with strict organizational structures, where pawns see matrydom (to the state, if nothing else) as more important than the self. In small pockets though, it can work.
         
         And of course, the next step there is if you are doing what you want, you won't hate Mondays.
         
         Plus, there's the obvious retort that not everyone works M-F. Many restaurants close on Mondays.
         
         I don't think there's anything special about Mondays.
