Anarcho-capitalism, radical neo-liberalism, unfettered capitalism, call it what you want, in the end it’s basically a breeding ground for monarchism. When you give money all the power in the world you just replace kings with billionaires, unelected rulers backed by private armies.

Yea, I mean I can imagine even if your anti-consumption, if there aren’t affordable smaller businesses to support or dependable mutual aid services that can provide food for enough people it’s gonna be tough to give up groceries from the monopolized supermarkets. Not saying Americans shouldn’t boycott, but we need to be aware that as long as there’s capitalism, we’re always gonna be choosing between compromised options.

Yes thank you. Quick google search says your right. My bad.

It drives me crazy that there are people who think us humans are inherently lazy. It’s silly to think money is the ONLY thing that incentivizes us to work. We build shit because we want to. Did the native Americans build Tipis and expect to get payed? No! They built another Tipi because they fucking needed another Tipi. Imagine the type of shit we could build in the future if capital wasn’t a thing and budget wouldn’t be a barrier.

If you go to any old town in Europe there are a lot of roads with practically no cars. You can just walk along this wide road through the town fit for dozens of people. The problem is not that there aren’t enough pedestrian sidewalks, the problem is everything in modern infrastructure is being made for cars, and roads are seen as both meant for pedestrians AND cars.
