You can eat anything at least once

And then a tornado hits, harder

I just think people shouldn’t be chided for doing what is convenient when so much of our economy is attention based. Kind of like hating the players instead of the game.

Does self-defense count as violence? Because forcefully dismantling the oil infrastructure can save lives and it would be nonviolent as long as the police don’t start with their violence.

I mean if removing people from the equation is on the table then targeting billionaires with a carbon footprint of small nations would be the logical place to start.

That aside, this meme is calling for collective violent action against infrastructure. Your example is an individual violent action against a person.

The market will dictate your worth.

Speak for yourself. I’m priceless.

“Market movers make money” by shipping jobs over seas and busting unions. That’s the part of the CEO’s job description. They work hard at it alright, but a guillotine works harder.

Cynbersyn could have changed the world. Rest in power Allende.

This reads as more Individualism. We gotta band together, the corporations already have.

You can’t raise a family on passion, some of us have more mouths to feed then our own.

Me: how about democracy in the work place?

Reactionaries: but what about Stalin?

Me: did I stutter?

Right now the UAW is going on strike for those higher wages. CEO of Ford says those wages will bankrupt them. Is he telling the truth?

We’re communicating using the fediverse. I can use my own private instance to connect, but in my case I am using a “collective” instance. While capitalism sees the Lemmy Blahaj as a “private enterprise”, it is functionally more akin to a free associative collective where members can take their content with them.

I would say part of the confusion is because our technology has evolved in a capitalist context, collectivism isn’t the default state of being so the solutions made cater towards (corporate) private ownership.

IDK, maybe we could decide such things similar to how we’re having this conversation and we’re able to upvote on what’s being said. Totally unprecedented I know.

Under a capitalist legal framework yes, but hear me out, it’s possible to redefine laws and is really what this debate is about.

What kind of competition though? Competing over how little I pay my workers might temporarily boost the standard of living in my own country if I offshore labor, but it seems to turn the standard of living into a ponzi scheme. Where one needs to continually find a cheaper source of labor to maintain the quality of life.

Wild how even when they were going full-on gulags , their peak imprisonment rate didn’t surpass the United States. And we’ve got plenty of bullets for those that run or resist arrest.

A car can not only belong to one person, but it can be operated by one person.

A key distinction I’ve heard is: whether a property has to be collectively operated or can it be individually operated?

One point in time does not constitute a robust conclusion. Consider any time before and how collectivism did yield considerable agriculture gains for the USSR. Like do we really think they fought WW2 with the same or less agricultural efficiency they had before their revolution?
