How Capitalism Exploits Us (And What We Can Do About It)

Also, these are the best 5 things to start out with.

This is one of the most basic ideas that we can get across to people.

While many will disagree about other things Richard Wolff talks about, but this is the most basic easiest thought we need to get across to people about how capitalism is exploitive, unequal, and needs to be gotten rid of.

PS. He does forget a lot of stuff, and important stuff about socialism vs capitalism. If the economy was completely changed to worker coops/WSDEs, then it would still be capitalism. That should be noted.

Specifically the Tanares mod for the N1?

And also you start to loss payload mass at an exponentially rate, if I recall correctly from his book.

6 months is definitely the best we're gonna get

You seem to be one of the only people really committed to using reddit as a tool instead of just a place to discuss.

Holy shit. You just solved everything about a capitalists "democracy"!?! Pack it up squad. This guy's got it!

I mean. If you look at this thread. You see most of us aren't super happy with the burning of these cars. But don't let that stop you from having your opinion. Or the fact you just said there's a chance some of them were paid protesters.

Anyone willing to let capitalism continue has an empathy problem.

Of course they have to listen to voters, because voters vote.

Except there are countless times where leaders campaign on something then do the opposite or nothing in office about it.

Is it in inconceivable to you that people do not want your ideology?

I mean, if you really think the majority of people actually know what kind of world we envision then you're a bit naive. Here's a question. What do you think we want. What do you think an anarchist world is. And don't just say no leaders.

This disastrous demonstration has achieved nothing but to generate anger - and no, not anger at the state or its institutions. Do you think people are going to turn on their televisions, see their cities and property burning and think, "hey, these guys have got the right idea!"?

Well, seeing how probably none of us were part of this, we can't really say why they did this. But maybe their goal wasn't to convince people of anarchism. Maybe it was to distract the cops. Make people not want to host g20. Or maybe some were paid protesters. Or maybe there were some legitimate assholes in the crowd.

Someone doesn't know what anarchism/communism is about.

Also, voting brings minor change. Absolutely even then, when the leaders are in, they don't have to listen to the voters. Civil disobedience goes hand in hand with democracy.

TheSutphin · 2017-07-07T16:54:35+00:00

That's fair. I mean, I'm just sitting on my ass. At least our comrades are doing something

TheSutphin · 2017-07-07T16:37:28+00:00

Was gonna say...

Couldn't they try burning the pigs' cars, or something more important.

TheSutphin · 2017-07-07T16:24:45+00:00

Whose cars are those?

TheSutphin · 2017-07-07T02:12:28+00:00

Che didn't die for this.

Makes me fuckin sick.

TheSutphin · 2017-07-02T02:13:24+00:00

Yes?

TheSutphin · 2017-07-01T15:32:51+00:00

Ya know, I missed the sarcasm tag, and I apologize.

TheSutphin · 2017-07-01T15:21:33+00:00

Yeah know, I agree.

Ten was my doctor, like many others, and I loved 11. But fuck. 12 was just. Something old, and something new.

TheSutphin · 2017-07-01T15:10:25+00:00

This is just inaccurate

TheSutphin · 2017-07-01T01:58:29+00:00

I'm a huge space nerd. Trying to get into the field and such. So I find the SpaceX shit cool and interesting.

But yeah. This and his hate of unions/not paying his workers, really lowered my opinion.

You do know how sourcing works, right?

Each of those quotes from the former CIA officer are sourced. You can follow the Wikipedia link and click the sources and see for yourself.

And I sourced the article above, in a this comment thread, about the NY times reviewing the book on Che's life.

TheSutphin · 2017-06-30T18:01:02+00:00

Robert D. Chapman, a former CIA officer who served in Cuba, wrote in a review of Exposing the Real Che Guevara in the International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence that "His information is based almost exclusively upon exile sources. Some accounts I know are true, some untrue, and others are exaggerated war fables."[2] Writing a review of The Longest Romance in the same journal, Chapman writes that "I don't know where he obtained the many doubtful statistics he cites" and that "Fontova often presents pictures of Cuba that never happened".[3]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humberto_Fontova

Literally took 2 seconds to find that shit. Also, obviously someone who left Cuba is going to be critical. That's why you should read someone who went about studying him in an unbiased way, which is why the New York times, amongst others, praise Jon Lee.

As we danced at our wedding reception, Elon told me, "I am the alpha in this relationship."... He had grown up in the male-dominated culture of South Africa, and the will to compete and dominate that made him so successful in business did not magically shut off when he came home. This, and the vast economic imbalance between us, meant that in the months following our wedding, a certain dynamic began to take hold. Elon's judgment overruled mine, and he was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking. "I am your wife," I told him repeatedly, "not your employee." "If you were my employee," he said just as often, "I would fire you."

And I used to like him.
