You can’t fight against capitalism with violence, this cause only more violence and suffering. Because the elite has all the force and weapons, apart to turn with it the oligarchs in martyrs, justifying more oppression. You can use votes, demonstrations, strikes. boycotts, sabotage. education and intelligence to fight the system, using it’s flaws against it.
You can’t fight against capitalism with violence,
Historically the only way you can fight against capitalism is with violence. There has never been a case in its entire ~400 year history where its relinquished power to socialist alternatives without violence.
“You can’t possibly fight the system, the elites have all the force and weapons! They’ll probably let you vote them out though idk…”
We have all the numbers.
Are you calling for a civil war? I don’t get these posts.
Vote with your dollar.
Voting with your dollar in a capitalist system only works if you have billions of them
Vote with your dollar.
Doesn’t work, a tiny number of capitalists have more of them, and created a system / rigged game (bourgeois “democracy”) that perfectly serves their interests.
Not with that attitude. I mean, if you don’t eat McDonald’s, it is going to go away. People stopped eating Burger King and they are dropping like flies in my city.
Like, literally, you are on Lemmy for this reason, I would suppose: because time is money, and it takes time to collect data. So you aren’t spending time on social media outside of the fedeverse.
Burger Kings might go away via boycotting, and so would those places of work (not to glorify fastfood chains as employers, those suck major balls). Capitalism wouldn’t stop existing even if everyone stopped buying anything, because all those people would still need groceries, housing, electricity etc. All of those exist under capitalist relation to production. If people elected to stop paying their rent as boycott for example, the government would send the cops to forcibly remove those people and throw their shit on the street. Consumers boycotting any single aspects of capitalism will never be enough by itself to bring about societal change, because the whole of liberal society exists to serve the interests of capital.
“Sure the game is rigged and the stack of bottles is glued together, but we just have to throw the ball really hard.”
Repeating the last letter to denote holding a word out is one of my biggest icks for captioned images/memes.
Is rarely the sound that would be lengthened, and it gets super double extra annoying when the repeated letter is SILENT.
“Voteeeeeee” is just unambiguously wrong, and the creator of the title of this post should feel bad.
Edit: Why are you booing me? I’m right.
Trueeeeee
I get it, it’s hard to afford therapy when the system doesn’t want you to get better
