You can’t dismantle systems of oppression without liquidating the oppressors.

We didn’t end slavery by asking nicely, it took a civil war. Then, because we didn’t kill every slave owner and seize all of their wealth, they just reconstituted themselves as landlords. They defeated Reconstruction, regained power, rehired all their old slaves back as sharecroppers, and the oppression continued. The old slave catchers just became police, and they rounded up Black people and then put them on chain-gangs to be slaves for the State. Even today we have prison slaves working the fields.

If every slave owner was hanged and their family’s wealth redistributed to their former slaves, none of this would have happened.

If you don’t oppress the oppressors they just come back and resume their oppression. You have enemies. Start acting like it.

Our ends require oppressing the bourgeoisie.

That’s basically true, but I think capitalism would overthrow direct democracy.

People would vote for higher wages and then there’d be a coup.

He lost ONE gun debate and now the coward won’t debate anymore smdh

I was too dysphoric as a teenager to even think about being naked around another person.

Yeah, I use USAmerican to differentiate it from the rest of the American nations.

AmeriKKKan is also acceptable.

I’ve been using genocidier.

I’ve read so many books in the past few years and I still feel like I don’t know anything.

But liberals can take a political compass quiz once in highschool think they’re fucking experts.

I know what you’re saying, I’m just raising the class question. There are “good” reasons for the rich to use capitalism, after all.

Poverty is a necessary component of capitalism. It’s not arbitrary, it’s calculated.

The irony of assuming everyone who disagrees with you is a troll and then accusing them of seeing in “black and white” is amusing.

When liberals tell you who they are, believe them.

Kids these days don’t even recognize the interstate pitstop hellzone meme smdh

The rich are the ones that made race into a problem. Racism isn’t organic, it was constructed by colonialism.

Rent seekers are parasites and the world would be better off without them.

They are unproductive exploiters and can and should be completely replaced.

That’s not a different discussion, though.

If tools were collectively owned, for instance, they could be kept in a community tool locker/garage that the whole community would own and be able to borrow whenever needed. “Rent” would be replaced by a small fee paid into the community to maintain the tools, not some profit seeking parasitism from a renter looking to exploit people’s need for tools.

Renting isn’t the problem. Renters are.

That’s not a reason for anyone to make money from rents.

This has nothing to do with being a “good” person.

That said.

They could create a housing cooperative where all the tenants are owner-members and share the property collectively. If they live in the building too they can also be an equal owner-member. If they live somewhere else, they have to give up ownership.

By being landlords or personally knowing landlords.
