People holding too much power seem to inevitably decide they need and deserve even more power. Bri’uhn wasn’t the first that enslaved and genocided whole populations, nor the only during that time: Spain was arguably more violent and France was another power and riches hungry evil.
You want to bind my wrists with the shackles of universal healthcare you monster!
‘Member when people tried building there own communes outside the US and the CIA intervened.

The Invisible Doctrine does a good job of explaining how capitalism happened and where we are today. Fairly depressing but informative.
Gonna throw in “Debt: First 5000 Years” by Graeber if anyone wants even more historical perspective on how it came to be.
hey thanks for the suggestion. I also suggest the amazing book Kicking Away The Ladder by Ha Joon Chang.
Wait, were do the the Romans and the Mongols stay in this picture? Were they capitalists as well?
No one ever even implied that they were.
The obvious answer to your question is “not in frame”.
Hello, my name is Marc Parella and I am laughably ignorant of the entirety of human history since roughly 1880.
People, people, please. You’ll be enslaved no matter what economic system you’re under.
What an utterly shitty take.
Nothing stopping you. Well, except for the federal government and its military.
Stop trying to enslave me in a world where my neighbor gets to eat! I wanna live in a world where none of us get to eat, and we work all day to maintain our poverty!
Give it a try and tell me how it goes. “If you think you’re free, try going into a deli and urinating on the cheese”
Shoot James Brady in the back?
There is, in fact, a lot stopping people from forming communes all over the place
But try!!!, dont use the difficulty as an excuse
Namely, capitalism.
…and if you do, hoooooo boy. I hope you like a coup, because you are going to get a coup.… or sanctions… or a blockade… or all three.
And don’t get too big or the FBI or ATF is on their way
That’s just a shitty thing to say. As if the CIA doesn’t do this work, local business owners and sheriffs won’t form a militia, or any of dozens of other federal agencies don’t put in the work murdering people for trying to share.
Worker unions bad, police unions enforcing corporate-aligned government rules good.
Is there? There are hundreds of giant worker co ops here in brazil, and I know multiple people who live in amarchist communities in the wooxds. Most of them don’t last very long, but they do try, and then stop on theirbown accord.
BTW, a giant worker co op named Aurora was responaible for slave like conditions in one of their many grape farms.
I can only really speak for the US it doesn’t seem to go over too well here, and uh, americans making a commune in south america doesn’t have a really good track record either lol
Pass the KoolAid
“Nothing” is definitely an interesting way to pronounce “many things”
“Nothing stopping you” except the government. “Which government?” Most of them.
Remember, the capitalists caused famine all over the place too!
Okay but they weren’t communist about it, so it doesnt count. Stop whining Ireland.
uproar from India, Bangladesh, The Congo, Kenya, and about 100 other countries
Yes but they’re not white so we don’t have to pretend to feel guilty about the atrocities.
Good job, Marc, now you almost get it! You’re just a bit confused.
I actually came here to defend Marc’s clever rhet.: one of these people paid a Nazi to a status symbol. One of is still using capitalist means to aggregate solidarity.
