what_Da_what@RadicalGraffiti what does it mean by the class war? Do you think it refers to the classes assorted to wages? Ex. Rich v Poor?
~* Sarah@what_Da_what it's all of us versus the billionaires and hundred millionaires basically.
@stellarsarah @RadicalGraffiti oh ok. But now why is there a war between us?
@what_Da_what honestly, if you look at the course of human history, it has always kinda been that way. The rich are greedy, never happy with what they have and just want us around to do labour with as few rights as possible, while the rest of us like having some basic rights, protections and freedoms. I'm reading a book about the German Peasants' War and it's fascinating how some of the same ideas are still at issue.
@stellarsarah @RadicalGraffiti
That is interesting. Honestly why can't we all reach benefit each other in society? Why can't we all just help each other live?
@what_Da_what because the rich won't let us, basically. If we had equality, they couldn't feel like they're special for having more than everyone else.
@stellarsarah @RadicalGraffiti
So what are we going to do about this? We can't just keep living like this can we? The people who made this country built it on freedom, and people being equal. Honestly if people hate the way our country is then change it. That's what pur founding fathers did
Levka@what_Da_what @RadicalGraffiti
Marx was wrong. Class isn't about economics. Economics is about class. Class is about dominance and submission. Think of it as the *real* Golden Rule: Those who make the rules get the gold.
@LevZadov @RadicalGraffiti do you think maybe it's because they stepped on everyone else to make the rules?
@what_Da_what @RadicalGraffiti
It's because we allowed them to.
so how do we nake it to where we control the rules, to where the people control the rules? Do we rebel? Physically or verbally? And if we fail at either which way we choose they will take away our Physicall power or our verbal power, or both.

"If the workers are organized, all they have to do is to put their hands in their pockets and they have got the capitalist class whipped." -- Big Bill Haywood
So in us working for them we keep them in power?
@what_Da_what @RadicalGraffiti
Yep. Also buying their products and services.
So then how do we get to the top?
@what_Da_what @RadicalGraffiti
Why even *have* a top? Horizontalism is better.
My point still stands. Amd my question un-answered. How do we start to make the rules instead of follow them blindly? And for even more thought. How would we stop the cycle? People aren't born with greed but obtain it very quickly. How would we stop the same thing that's happening now from happening?
@what_Da_what @RadicalGraffiti
Collectively.
Here's how the Spanish anarchists did it:

This is a good way on how we should live as human beings
@what_Da_what @RadicalGraffiti
