it’s intense how much anarchism, marxism, communism, and socialism have been erased from our history and culture.
i always wonder how dismissive of anti-capitalism ppl would be if they realized helen keller, einstein, kafka, aldous huxley, stephen hawking(?), frida kahlo, picasso (gross dude but he fits the example), mlk, mark twain, oscar wilde, and charlie chaplin were all anti-capitalists. i wonder how dismissive they’d be if they understood how much we owe to anti-capitalists organizing against capitalism.
In school they tell you that socialism/communism means if you and your wife each have a car but your neighbor doesn’t, the government gives one of your cars to your neighbor.
Ignoring the fact of what really happens: you and your wife have a car. Your neighbor doesn’t. Moneybags McCunt however has 17 cars. The government gives one to your neighbor since McCunt will never ever need 17 cars. Your neighbors quality life is exponentially improved immediately while McCunt has zero change or effect on his.
They literally condition us to think that the socialists like Marx are all violent, and against people owning ~private property~ and the ~free market~ (as if that even exists anymore) and those following the American Dream™️ earning wealth that “they worked hard for”.
These economic theories are literally birthed from the gap between the poor and the upper class, and just like theyALWAYS do. They turn socialism and communism Into a war between the working class and those in poverty.
