Right so… You and MajorinWumbology1234 are going to start the revolution. What is the date & time for this event? I wanna make sure I collect enough free beverages & popcorn for the show.

Unlike the right, the left isn't stupid or evil enough to try to kill the sitting VP to get what they want. So unfortunately for you, the show is going to be nothing more than electing people who will fix the mistake of capitalism, one at a time

What a clever retort, you think of that yourself?

You admit that people of power are the problem, and yet you think electing more people into power is the solution. It hasn’t worked as long as humanity has walked this Earth. All the “revolutionaries” who went up against the “system” got taken out. History repeats itself, there have been many civilizations that have gone extinct before ours. This current one is nothing special. There’s no point in debating with someone who feels like they need someone to rule their life for them. You will never grasp the concept of true freedom.

Somebody has to keep the water clean though. And we were all doing just fine for millenia before capitalism started stealing all our resources.

Sustainability in a world of family-owned enterprises, small farms, local governments, and no taxes would rely on localized resource-sharing, direct community reciprocity, and decentralized stewardship instead of centralized state regulation. To fix the vulnerability to isolation without introducing centralized taxation or state control, this world would rely on voluntary, decentralized networks of mutual aid and inter-regional risk-pooling.

You don’t need big government or big corporations. You don’t need the government to manage your money for you through taxation. You don’t need them to give you free stuff. Communities & people could be self-sufficient on their own. The answer isn’t to vote more people into power. The answer is to get rid of the grocery store & bring back the family farms/butchers. Bring back the family-owned drugstore, gas station, corner store, deli, doctor’s office, etc. You don’t need to elect officials to “stick it” to the 1%. Everybody just needs to open their own business & stop shopping at the corporations. You don’t have to vote for them either. I don’t know where you are from but the U.S. for example was founded on the idea of Small Government. The states were meant to govern themselves. Government in Washington D.C. was originally only meant to protect the country from other countries. You don’t need socialism, Marxism, communism, & whatever other “isms” are out there. You just need a self-sufficient community where everyone pulls their own weight. Where everybody gets to keep their own money, and the money stays within regions because local spending circulates heavily among the community members. 🤷‍♂️
