You can’t destroy a system billions of people depend on without killing billions of people. We need to learn to not depend on it first.

Our only hope is to culturally evolve past our current situation, and we’re kinda of in the process of that now. I’m almost 50, when I was growing up any talk like this was old hippy fantasy (hippies are 25 yrs older than me), but now it’s come back and more real than ever.

More and more people are seeing the police not as a helpful and necessary but as oppressors and sadists. Eating rich people is talked about every day. People are starting to realize that any state is inherently corruptible and if we want peace and sustainability we need to see the string of failures that is the state and realize it’s a failed technology.

At some point, hopefully we’ll get better at strategizing and acting instead of just complaining and protesting. Realistically using the tools we have available (e.g. the state) to put those currently running the system in their place.

Run for office, vote, be less dependent on the system, do mutual aid.

You can’t destroy a system billions of people depend on without killing billions of people. We need to learn to not depend on it first.

Don’t be so absolute. You can destroy capitalism very well without destroying the people within it.

True, the death toll in practice has only been in the range of 3.5 to 5 million in one case or 1 million up to many many more in another, with 20 million deaths being a probably-unlikely outlier estimate on the high side. I don't think it's ever killed billions or even close to it.

Not every revolution has to be an Marxist-Leninist revolution. Nor is the world the same. Not to mention that Capitalism is killing millions per month right now. You’re perfectly content to let Capitalism crush millions right now to maintain the benefits you have so you’re just a hypocrite on top of being intellectually dishonest by presuming every revolution will lead to totalitarianism.
