Why do we say that capitalism must beย โ€œdismantledโ€?

Youโ€™ll hear phrases like โ€œSmash the state!โ€ โ€œEat the rich!โ€ andย โ€œSmash capitalism!โ€

And, yes, of course, butโ€ฆ :)

However relevant those sayings are, our work must be careful, highly organized and above all planned.

Because capitalism and all of its associated systems are not discrete, abstracted entities we can attack independently.

It is a structure, like a complicated machine with many thousands of working partsโ€ฆ

And right now it is connected to absolutely everything.

If we do thisโ€ฆ [picks up huge hammer and smashes the machine]

Then a lot of vulnerable people will die.

The machine was built and improved and redesigned and patched over the course of generations. It is very good at its intended purpose, which is ultimately to generate profit.

Every human being alive today relies on the byproducts of the machine to survive, without exception.

The machineโ€™s engineers want it to keep working like it does. In fact, they want to optimise it.

That will kill all remaining life on Earth.

So, we must destroy the machine, quickly and carefully

We must examine its deadly programs and mechanics and replace them with alternatives we built together.

The engineers donโ€™t want us tampering with the machine.

However, we make it runโ€ฆ

So we can make it STOP. Together.

How will YOU help us to safely dismantle the machine?

p.s. My computer is on its last legs. If you would like me to draw you a little cartoon and help me get a new computer, learn more at this post.

How is โ€™t with me when every noise appalls me? What hands are here! Ha, they pluck out mine eyes. Will all great Neptuneโ€™s ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather The multitudinous seas incarnadine, Making the green one red.

I just think that if nintendo is going to create a feature that even gets a dedicated button as part of the selling point then you should not need to pay a subscription service just to use it

having a button that you canโ€™t press unless you wanna spend money means that nintendo has recreated the experience of accidentally pressing the internet button on your flip phone and you go you fuckfuckfuck as you try to back out as fast as possible before it charges your parents

i know its cliche as hell but that trope where a personโ€™s shadow reveals hidden and potentially malevolent features that arenโ€™t corporeally present (such a wings, or extra appendages, or a weapon) or behaves like a sentient being and not just a silhouette mirroring their actions is just so ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ‘Œ poetic cinรฉma

I just saw a video posted on the Superman reddit about the 5-minute scene released at Cinemacon and this has made me so profoundly excited
