☭Anti-Capitalist☭

There’s really no “lesser evil” in politics. There’s just an other evil that won’t directly harm anyone that you care about. By backing that evil you tell them that you’re okay with them harming whoever they feel deserves harm. Choosing the other evil is still choosing evil.

do you have book/doc/youtuber recommendations?

i’d like to add youtubers:

All very good additions!

“Since the socialist idea began to penetrate into the heart of the working masses, it has given birth to a most interesting tendency. The worst enemies of socialism, understanding that the best means of mastering socialism is to pass themselves off as its adherents, hasten to declare themselves socialist. Talk to one of these capitalists who mercilessly exploit the worker, his wife and his children. Talk to him of the scandalous inequalities in fortune and of the crises and poverty the workers endure; speak to him of the need to ameliorate the system of private property with the aim of bettering the situation of the working men; and if the bourgeois is intelligent and is seeking to make it in politics, and especially if you are one of his constituents, he will hasten to say to you: “Good lord, but I too am a socialist like you. The social question, savings banks, legislation on working conditions – I am perfectly in agreement with you about all that! Still, you know, we must no overthrow everything in a day! We must proceed gently! “And he will leave you to "gently” squeeze a few more pence from “his workers” in anticipation of the losses which the socialist agitation may one day cause him. In the past he would have turned his back on you. Today he tries to make you believe that he shares your ideas, so as to cut your throat more easily whenever he gets a chance.”

“I know a sentence that is still more terrifying, more terribly ambiguous than “I am alone,” and it is, isolated from any other determining context, the sentence that would say to the other: “I am alone with you.” Meditate on the abyss of such a sentence: I am alone with you, with you I am alone, alone in all the world.”

ha?

well
