    Sad thing is the people that need to understand this… aren’t educated enough to understand this.

      That’s just defeatist talk. You got to meet people where they’re at in order to get them to understand. I’m pretty sure a child could learn to grasp this concept, if you explained it well enough.

        I think you’re misunderstanding the fundamental inability for uneducated people to change their perspective because they innately tie their perspective with their identity.

        I’ve tried so hard to explain these principles to people but they’re so entrenched in the capitalist mindset they seemingly cannot let go of the system they were born in to, and oppressed by because they just rebutt with “but communism never worked” and you try to explain other systems, or how they don’t work because it keeps getting co-opted by the wealthy parasite class and dismantled from the inside out into an oligarchy in all but name, or co-opted and run as a plutocracy but at every corner still preaches to the world that the system is communism, while holding none of the fundamental values of communism.

      That’s because the statement is confusingly written and uses words that the right deliberately never uses. Simplify it without losing the meaning.

      Capitalism wins by taking over organizations who fight them using the goods and services those orgs use or need.

      Big Money steps in, fucks up shit, and then sells the materials to fix things - as long as the seller agrees to what is being built. It’s fucking insidious and needs to be stated more clearly so chuds and idiots can use the advice.

    I’m not sure that’s a goal of theirs but just what ends up happening when companies are seeking profits

      That’s the fun thing! From a strategic response perspective, you need to treat it like it’s intentional even though it’s likely just profit seeking behavior.

      We know there are people actively working to promote capitalism to their own benefit, it only helps our cause to treat them as competent as they seem (rather than are). They get results, act like those results are intentional.
