Capitalism is not an ‘economic system’.

[breadandcircuses@climatejustice.social]

Capitalism is not an ‘economic system’. Capitalism is legalized crime. It is an extortion racket, set up to steal from the poor and give to the rich. It’s a centuries-long con game, and it’s working better now than it ever has.

You can read about this, learn the history. The information is out there in the open, available to anyone. But capitalism’s propaganda machine has been so successful — and the institutions they’ve built to provide a facade of legitimacy are so entrenched — that it’s hard for most people to see what’s really going on.
