Posted @withregram • @wokescientist Capitalism, aspirations, ambitions, dreams & goals - how we do dream BIG while never losing sight that no one is free until we are all free? Dream of liberation, not luxury ✖️Does your self-worth & self-esteem hinge on being better than or superior to your fellow human beings? We are all socialized such that it does. Do you gain validation from having more material possessions, titles, awards, or “political knowledge” than other folks? We’re socialized to think that “better than” means innately more worthy. Our liberation hinges on us unlearning — 🌹To support this work please donate to my mutual aid fund that goes to directly to houseless folks in Santiago, Chile 🔹 Cashapp $ayeshakhan4 🔹PayPal.me/ayeshakhan4 ♤ Can't access my venmo as of now outside the US temporarily ♤ —————— feel free to share- just tag & credit me ✨ to help counter shadowban SAVE > SHARE > COMMENT/ LIKE —————— 🏴If our motivation behind our actions from seeking awards, promotions, wins in a political argument, popularity etc- is about being “right” or being “better than” then it does more harm than good • It helps me today to question my deep motivations behind each action I take, word I say & goal I pursue. Beyond being able to have basic security to survive- my ego can’t drive my aspirations 🌹 I’ve grappled w/ this to make more humble, collective choices rather than capitalist ones even if its appealing, socially acceptable or simpler. There was value in me aspiring for more when I had little to nothing, but I know now that that aspiration was for basic security & stability- food, water, shelter, community. I never need to aspire to wealth & superior status to be safe. Aspiring to possess more hurts me & everyone cuz our liberations are tied • • • • • #anticapitalism #anticapitalist #abolition #abolishcapitalism #abolishthestate #anarchism #anarchist #anarchy #mutualaid #leftist #leftists #neoliberalism #wekeepussafe #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind #decolonizethisplace #decolonizedminds #decolonizeyourbookshelf #unlearnandrelearn #unlearning #unlearn #houselessnothomeless #solidaritynotcharity #revolutionnow #abolitionnow #abolitionist https://www.instagram.com/p/CbF-XU4B-HF/?utm_medium=tumblr
