In addition to the other thread descendants, staring with u/jjjalljs@ttrpg.network:

For all the bitching about capitalism, which basically every country on Earth uses for an economic system

This is only the case because it was instituted at gunpoint. The exploration, colonization, settlement, expropriation, amassment, warfare, thievery, and conquest of the world's economy is soaked in blood, laden in exploitation of people, places, and things and destruction of the commons. You'd know that if you were subject to it. Or, if you'd paused to read, ask, or think about it for 5 seconds.

And, I can't believe I'm saying this in public, "just because everyone is doing it, that doesn't make it right."

  • We can vilify, undermine, and lead smear campaigns against unions under capitalism.
  • We can break, or prevent, unions under capitalism.
  • Our governments can attack us using local, state, provincial, and federal police forces whenever there is a perceived threat to capitalism.

Everything works fucking horribly with those 2781 billionaire capitalists robbing the world blind while blaming the victims.

Imagine that.
