The thing is, in the world we live in it is possible to achieve this without it becoming a work burden, or a worker oppressive machine.
Once the US Supreme Court ruled that companies no longer have any obligations to thier customers, themselves, the environment etc. and only hold fudiciary responsibilities to the shareholders (profit) above all else- that the system reached its final stage that has been grinding down everything.
I see a huge amount of meme postings and negative postings/comments about it, but very, very little posts on how to change the system we live in (the west) besides “burn it all to the ground”…which, frankly, is a shit idea, because we are all in this boat and I’d rather see us all succeed than fail.
Thats because it is the only solution, and the “you’re not left enough crowd” understands it is the only solution.
Maybe read Capital volumes 1-3 and then tell me you think “socialism or barbarism” isn’t an objectively(or as close to objective as one can be) correct take.
Well, the first thing to be done in USA is to stop dis BS two party system. It is still better than only one, sure, but a working democracy should give more options and tools to make each individual’s opinion respected.
After that something like an initiative is needed so that a the people can commit changes to the constitution by winning a majority vote in the majority of states and one that counts for all states (changes to constitution have to win both majority votes)
I’m not American, but have similar struggles. Is this the kind of thing we can push locally then hope to expand out, or does it really have to come from the top down?
Actually you all probably have more local power than a lot of countries, so lots of opportunity to land and expand
Bananas are strong together. Anarchist are working toward prefiguration. That is building a future with “no rule” inside current systems. We have to live within the current system, but we can build a better one. Working together maybe we can build a better boat.

But then again what do I know? I’m just a banana.
Do you think changing economic systems is equivalent to setting it all on fire?

Reforming the system is a dead end, we have to replace if with socialism for the sake of our children.

Okay, well, you’re wrong, capitalism is a mathematically unsustainable system.

I personally prefer to start locally and expand upwards. Especially here in switzerland where we value the right to have local laws very highly 😇
