I don’t want to be a feminist anymore. →
I don’t want to be a feminist anymore. Like a five-year-old, I want to close my eyes, stick my fingers in my ears, stomp my feet on the floor and scream “No! No, you cannot make me, I won’t, leave me alone!” I am, simply put, too tired. So very, very tired.
I am tired of fighting with my friends. I am tired of arguing that someone groping and slapping my butt isn’t “what I have to expect”,...
Why capitalism needs racism →
The capitalist social pyramid is black at the base and white at the top. In South Africa, until apartheid was formally abolished in 1994, this pyramid was legally sanctioned. Elsewhere, while slavery and segregation have been outlawed, the richest people are still the whitest and the poorest are the blackest.
Racism suits capitalism because it’s an important way of justifying economic...

– Max Weber, in Politics as Vocation.
Note: Capitalism entails capitalist control of property by means of violence. The capitalist, or owner, of any given private property claims the monopoly legitimate use of physical force over/within the territory/property he controls. In other words, capitalists...

How to troll anarcho-capitalists
anticapitalist:
Libertarian/Anarcho-capitalist la-la land is created
Become super fucking rich
Buy almost all the capital in the world
Own almost every business
Give workers control of means of production
Since land will be protected by militia groups, the militias you’ve been hiring to keep your land safe will be paid to protect every worker collective.
Since anarcho-capitalism is 100%...
laliberty:
“Just as freedom of the press does not exist for the sake of that tiny minority of the population who are journalists, so property rights do not exist for the sake of those people with substantial property holdings. Both rights exist to serve social purposes reaching far beyond those who actually exercise these rights.”

anticapitalist:
Chilean students question the education system as commercial and elitist because it reproduces existing social inequities and makes them worse. But they are not just asking questions: They are practicing the kind of education they have spent years dreaming about and struggling to obtain.
“If workers can manage a factory, we can manage the school,” says Cristóbal, 17, as he...

You can't have property without the social...
anticapitalist:
Society must observe and respect property for it to be valid, and thus a social contract is required for property.
If you disregard the concept of a social contract, you are disregarding property as well. There is no natural right to property (or anything). All rights are created by man and are justified via social contract or something similar.
Libertarians have no problem...

Libertarian Credo: DO WHAT WE WANT, NOT AS WE DO
dagseoul:
Whining pseudo-libs. I don’t need to quote Paul’s racism to understand why he’s a piece of shit careerist politician who has never once had to lead on anything.
He’s a mouth-piece for utopian libertarian ideology based on Hayek and von Mises.
In addition, he’s a horrible writer. His books are filled with pseudo-theory and common sense whiteness.
I’ve been more than articulate why...

The theory that drives Ron Paul →
anticapitalist:
When people support Paul because he wants to shut down all U.S. military bases abroad and bring the troops home, they ignore why he has this motivation. Unlike activists on the left who have been campaigning for decades to end U.S. imperialism, Paul is a staunch isolationist—he still wants American hegemonic dominance in the world, he just doesn’t want to waste precious U.S....

Libertarian Reluctantly Calls Fire Department
CHEYENNE, WY—After attempting to contain a living-room blaze started by a cigarette, card-carrying Libertarian Trent Jacobs reluctantly called the Cheyenne Fire Department Monday. “Although the community would do better to rely on an efficient, free-market fire-fighting service, the fact is that expensive, unnecessary public fire departments do exist,” Jacobs said. “Also, my...

What is anarchism?
Not capitalism
Anarchism is a movement for human freedom. It is concrete, democratic and egalitarian … Anarchism began — and remains — a direct challenge by the underprivileged to their oppression and exploitation. It opposes both the insidious growth of state power and the pernicious ethos of possessive individualism, which, together or separately, ultimately serve only the...

Are individualist anarchists anti-capitalist?
Short Answer: Yes
Long Answer:
Many, particularly on the “libertarian”-right, would dismiss claims that the Individualist Anarchists were socialists. By their support of the “free market” the Individualist Anarchists, they would claim, show themselves as really supporters of capitalism. Most, if not all, anarchists would reject this claim. Why is this the case?

2. “If the Soviet empire still existed, I’d be terrified. The fact is, we can afford a fairly ignorant presidency now.” ~Newt Gingrich, saying that it’s okay for the President to be...

Interesting Experiment Using Capitalist Philosophy
anticapitalist:
My interpretation of that bullshit post about “Obama’s Socialism”

The professor then said, ‘OK, we will have an...
