of course they should have that. of course we need to abolish capitalism if we want a human humanity. needs of the people not profit of a few.
to get there we do political stunts (leftover covid funds for medical debt), we take parts of the social reality away from the market or at least undo market-consequences (public health care) and we build narratives (like you just did, like I just did).
I guess my point is on this platform too often people don’t differ between those strategies and between strategy and analysis. And if we don’t get better at that, we won’t succeed :)





In it’s core this is a “back in the days things were alright” fallacy. Everyone should have gotten serious about organization, unions, changing the social order to one beneficial for the people, staying vigilant… When Bush lied about Weapons of Mass destruction. When Reagan helped making the neoliberal project hegemonial. When anti-communist propaganda was ramped up.
Things are getting more fucked up. Time to act. They were horribly fucked up before. Time to act :)
