  • The New Deal did a great job at offering concessions from the system in order to placate the working class, which was building revolutionary momentum, so that the owning class could systematically dismantle the foundations of what allowed that revolutionary effort to take place. Now they have achieved that and are dismantling those concessions.

    The law never worked for the people. It is a tool of the owning class to enslave the people to their whims.

    The system is inherently oppressive and must be replaced. It is not the “best we could hope for”. Fuck off with that capitalist realism bullshit. Replacing it would be leagues better than floundering at trying to reform it out of its fundamental function: reinforcing the power of owning class hierarchy over the people and the land.

    We either replace the system with something fundamentally different or forever be consigned to repeat this cycle of oppression.

    You’re only argument against doing so is hyperbolic fearmongering of the unknown. Saying that if we do something different it would just be worse. That’s entirely conjecture. It has just as much possibility to become even better. You give up before you even try and consign yourself to a life of oppression under a system that only exists to exploit you.


  • The problem with this is that you still believe the system is simply broken and must be fixed.

    We tried reform once before, a century ago with the slow shifting from Gilded Age to the New Deal reforms, and we simply came right back around to the owning class once again treating this country as their personal playground.

    The system doesn’t need reform. It fundamentally reinforces the power of the owning class and their system of private ownership over the land and its resources that rightfully belong to everyone. You cannot reform it out of that fundamental structure. It needs complete and total replacement with something fundamentally different.

    The only thing this system was ever meant to control and regulate was the working class to keep us subservient to the owning class.
