    Whatever idealized version of capitalism that is in your head is only a temporary state as the economic system regresses towards its natural end stage.

    Its true, I don’t know which way of life is “the way”.

    What I do I know is that the way of life we have is a piece of shit… has always been a piece of shit… and will continue to be a bigger and bigger piece of shit until we collectively flush it.

    We need to try new things till something works. Fuck the status quo. Fuck the 1% who wishes they could be kings.

    How do we effect societal change? We first need to get our hands on the wheel. We need more then two political parties so there is competition in the electoral process. We need new fresh ideas, not the dinosaurs of both legacy political parties.

    We can get that with state level electoral reform. With a more representative voting system (such as, but not limited to Ranked Choice voting) people could vote for who best represents them, secure in the knowledge that their vote will still be counted if their preference didn’t win.

    If the democrats and Republicans are to weak to compete because of the many many years of using First Past The Post voting as a crutch… that’s on them.
