Toronto-based SJW, Andray Domise, is convinced that capitalism is the root cause of all of our problems:
There’s no way around a simple reality for people who consider themselves to be on the left side of the political spectrum, the people who strive for widespread and radical, if not revolutionary, change—we’re getting our tails kicked. There’s no putting an end to that if people who hold left-leaning ideals cannot quit kidding themselves by believing that capitalism exists as a benevolent or even neutral social arrangement. If the left intends to win these fights, it must also stand in principled opposition to capitalism. 2020 is the year to do it.
But the truth of the matter is this: 58 per cent of Canadians have a favourable view of socialism, and 77 per cent of us believe the world is facing a climate emergency. Most Canadians find income inequality to be fundamentally un-Canadian, and there are, numerically, more of us than there are bankers, landlords, brokers and executives put together. The only way for the left to win this fight is for its political vision to expand beyond capitalism, and to capture the widespread desire to move on from its exploitative limits.
Here’s an alternative idea: Why don’t all of the capitalist-hating, communist-loving Canadians build a new metropolis above the 55th Parallel? There’s so much unused land that far north. I’m sure a deal could be worked out if the thousands of them were to vacate our cities to move up there to build their SJW Nirvana. In doing so, they could show us how a non-capitalist, non-fossil fuel society could be created and thrive! C’mon Andray, lead your legions of like-minded Canadians up there and show us neanderthals how it’s done!
