      Or…organize and consolidate power amongst the people around you.

      A good chunk of us participate in autonomy; growing our own food, going vegan, not participating in blatant consumerism and monopolized economy. There’s also quite a few posts that have been…removed… for talking about “revolutionary actions”. You can think about it for maybe two seconds if you pull those brain-cells together why that might be. HMMMMMMM.

      But yeah, thought-terminating cliché is the typical response of your kind when confronted with actual agitative ideals. It results in a sort of cognitive dissonance you have where that in order to be a revolutionary you gotta go full Uncle Ted or you’re just a illegitimate who doesn’t VOOOOOOTE for your bullshit genocidaires.

      1. No one here claims to be a revolutionary. We are an instance for memes and theory, we don’t even do organising like a union or a communist party, and we are certainly not a revolutionary cell.

      2. The “stop participating” argument is the most worn card in the deck of the anti-communist debater. Participation in the system is not like seal fur or tropical woods, you cannot live your life in a way that avoids it. Capitalism’s total commodification of basic human rights means you cannot even obtain food and shelter or receive life-saving care without taking part in it. Telling someone to “stop participating in the system” amounts to promoting suicide.

        “Just get a loan (with credit), apply for federal programs that will deny you (with credit), get a cheap mortgage (with credit and bum-fuck nowhere+4 hour commute)

        “What, you don’t like that? Stop using credit-cards, commie.”
