    Could you, though? Do you realize the level of knowledge, work, and risk that entailed?

    Unless you’ve actually done it and survived without external inputs like fertilizer, pesticides, emergency food, tools… what do you know about growing your own food?

    You’re living in a fantasy world.

      Yes I do realize what’s involved. Why would you assume everyone is as ineffective as you are? Why do you think only billionaires can solve problems when EVERY BIT OF EVIDENCE shows the exact fucking opposite?

      I’m just saying there are more ways to form a society than exclusively through the complete control and exploitation of people and the environment like we’ve been doing for the last 100 years.

      Just because capitalism is the only way you know to live , doesn’t mean it’s the only way to live.

        Can you describe one that is better?

        Whenever we tried something else in the last 150 years it created a living hell for nearly everyone who was lucky enough to survive. And what we had before that was not paradise either, far away from it.

        The problem is not capitalism but unchecked, uncontrolled capitalism.

          Name one socialist or communist society that wasn’t embargoed, subverted, and eventually coup’ed by the US in order to “prove” those systems don’t work?

          Your question is exactly the same as two of my friends holding you down while I piss in your face while asking why you like piss in your face.

            Yeah I forgot that the US forced China into the culture revolution or Russland into performing Stalinist cleansings or into War communism with its huge famine.
