The people "struggling" to read this need to go back to children's books. This is entirely readable.

This also is true, yes.
This is the right take, IMO. Labelling race, gender etc issues as "diversions" has the same flavour as "I know the slaves are oppressed, but freeing them doesn't end capitalism, does it?"
Nowhere... That's the fucking point lmao
...No. Describing the view of the ruling class.
How can a stateless, classless, moneyless society have a 1%?
That sounds like a free market to me
A free market means zero regulation, so I hope you like drinking poison because "ain't no gubmint telling me how to bottle my soda!"
When people have the power to determine their own fate, and how they engage with others for economic coordination.
This requires kicking capital out of the economy. That would be defeating capitalism.
When everyone has the ability to choose how they engage, that’s called a free market
No, it's called voluntary participation. Free markets inevitably trend toward monopolies and concentrations of power, because the supply side is not held to any standard.
The economic system based on free markets is called capitalism.
And look where it's gotten us - with a 1% bleeding the rest dry.
This is the comment I replied to:
It’s simple… If you convince the communists that the capitalists are trying to destroy them, (and vice versa), they fight each other, distracting them from the real enemy: the 1% with enough money to directly influence the folk that make the rules that keep them in the 1% club. We’re fighting culture wars so we won’t fight class wars, my friend.
I don't think you know what projection is. The comment I replied to literally said that the 1% and class are the problem, and that communists are distracted. Couldn't be more off base.
Lol no, I do not say. No ruling class. No government. That's communism.
It's bonkers to me that you talk a big talk about class and class conflict, yet are opposed to left wing politics. Where do you think those terms come from?
What's even more bonkers is that you seem to think communism has never said anything about the 1%, when that is the biggest problem communists won't shut up about!
What ideology is it, again, that champions working class people to take their power back? It's certainly not right wing.
If you think the world is fucked because of the greed of the 1%, and you want those people to pay for their crimes through class war, you're communist.
Then we shouldn't leave energy security and the climate in the hands of capital. Energy should be nationalised.
