@Big Tittius ah yes, because communism equals poor, and everyone under capitalism is doing just fine. Yup, no unsustainable system here.

Things won’t get better without a revolution. We must abolish capitalism.

[@solidaritytime3650]

@@justinwatson1510 put a lot of thought into considering which species of revolution is necessary to bring about the kind of society you wish to see in its aftermath. I call for a revolution of the heart. I call for the development of parallel systems of production, distribution, and justice. I call for nonviolent mass-acts of civil disobedience. I call for a conscious refusal to cede the moral highground to those power-minds with a monopoly on the legal use of force.
