Everyone is bitching about #CapitalismRuinsEverything. Here is a simple solutions:
- be minimalist: don't buy everything, buy things that you really need
- buy used stuff
- grow your food
- buy in local markets
- try to be as self-sustained as possible
And first of all: be an example
@GeekDaddy These are all good ideas, but individual action alone won't end capitalism, even in aggregate. Capitalists will just commodify our resistance. It's going to take solidarity and collective action.
@starbreaker individual action started WWI
@GeekDaddy OK. Who should I assassinate? If I get caught I'll just say I was working for #OperationMindcrime.
@starbreaker first show me an example of working socialism state 😉 Could be historic.
My point is that the truth lies in between: small local democratic communities putting some money (yes, tax) in higher more global government. There is point even in globalism - I do like my bananas and without that I wouldn't have them.
