“Anarchy4Everyone”: 50 Eye-Opening And Relatable Posts From People Who Are So Over Capitalism

This is one of my favorite things anyone ever posted on the internet.

The kind of human I aspire to be. Being kind and helpful, with a dash of feuk you to those who deserve it.

I live in the US, and even ONE of those things, executed well over the entire nation, would be a massive improvement. Just one.

The second it started cutting into the Rich, White, Christian Right’s profit line. Because, 555M in profits isn’t enough for one quarter, I’m looking at you Xcel Energy.

Extrapolate these figures to speak the same for the whole world.

The first group would survive the 6 months, the 2nd group would off themselves with the 1st month.

If the CEO won't work for less than 400 times the average in his company, why should anyone else?

The minimum wage in Australia is currently $21.38/hour. It’s hard to believe it’s so low in the US. Land of the free? Unfortunately, more like land of the f**ked over.

The establishment doesn't understand why the homeless use drugs. Well if I lost everything I worked for & was reduced to living in a cardboard box, I'd probably want to escape realism, too.

Damn! Thats a new perspective.

This is why NOT everyone has "the same 24 hours".

It's not capitalism, it's greed.

The "developed" world made an ideological choice about 40 years ago that corporations could depress wages and governments would make up the slack with welfare. We need to stop demonising those on welfare and ask why a full time job still isn't enough to live on. Most benefits in the UK are paid to people actually in work. So-called benefit scroungers are actually few and far between.

And don't forget the deniers, and the zombie right advocates.

It goes Minimum wage, living wage, thriving wage. You can not live off minimum wage. Living wage covers necessities to exist. Thriving wage pays so your wages can be divided as such: 50% for necessities, 30% for spending at your discretion and 20% for savings. That being so, the nation is being paid minimum wage. That doesn't work. All the surplus is going to the 1 %, instead of paying a thriving wage to the nation. It could be done, I mean why the hell not.

especially airlines, it kills me how often they have their hands out to taxpaying mums and dads

Omg this

Once saw on that wanted a Doctorates for a Help desk call center paying 9.50/hr. Like, WTAF?!

Because America has become a Plutocracy.

Just reading this made me feel awful inside.

"If you hate your job, you don't quit! You just go in every day and do it really half assed. That's the American way!" - Homer Simpson.

I heard a pretty good argument that the housing crisis is pretty much at the root of everything. If we fix that, everything else sorts itself out, including climate change. The basic idea is that people would have the time, money and health to fix a lot of the world's problems, and as a bonus, if people could actually live near where they work and shop, there would be fewer emissions.

not true! serial killers are pretty dangerous, and i think not many people are serial killers!

This makes me scared of America, In South Africa I, an intern, make a tenth of my boss's salary. And yet it is enough to pay for rent, bills and save some extra money without having to work my but off

why is this all the way down here?? Its true

And that my friends is why I never did my homework until 5 min before class.

My husband just made this argument. I pulled his leg hairs for everyone stuck in their low wage job.

The title.. do we really have to censor murder??

Corporate meeting still WAY worse!

We know better but don't do better, gotta help the capitalists to keep profiting and exploiting us!

Socialism. Communism. Capitalism. The one thing they have in common is greed will always corrupt them.

and while we're at it we'll automate art stuff with AI so you can get back to work.

Pretty sure exploited workers in another country made the phone...

That sounds pretty logical if you can afford it. A living, or as said elsewhere on this page, a thriving wage should be the norm, should be the law.

We need strong unions more than ever

Scary but true. I know LOTS of people buying bigger houses so the parents stay in the in-law-suit thus saving the young family for people to watch their kids and the older generation money of having their family members watch them. Thus not going to senior living homes.

Yes, the "I could be a billionaire one day, so no socialist healthcare!" syndrome.

The only problem with this is we'll see even more jobs requiring a PHD for $10/hr

Proletarian shopping sounds better than shoplifting.

Maybe working all the time makes retirement more enjoyable? You would not love Disney so much if you got to go there everyday .... Yes, I know ... I'm reaching ... trying to not let this sadden me.

Vacation ?

this is my all-time favourite from this thread.

Would somebody please explain to Bec that it does not work that way in the US.

Capitalism 1970s: CUT YOUR HAIR so you can work hard and be rich. Dang hippies!

Unrelated but I love this person profile pic and agree with their opinion.

Probably it is stressful being a hunter gatherer and living in a cave idk

Sure but one party tries to keep you from health care and is trying to remove Medicare so maybe not both parties bad

Ok Jake.

My eldest struggles to make his rent every month. He and his partner both work. But fuel prices,food prices etc are causing them to be very anxious. Already paying £750 monthly just for the rent off a one bedroom flat in northeast England.. the council tax bill al9ne is ridiculous

I don't understand why landlords are so often seen as evil. Big corporations might be, but there are also normal people who are landlords. They have some money and invest it in a way that pays back. They are not automatically "the rich" and tenants are not automatically "the poor". If your lifestyle makes it necessary to move a lot, renting makes a lot more sense than buying a place to live.

"theft" - when a poor person takes a loaf of bread from walmart. "stock market takings" - when stock traders speculate and cash out millions of un-earned dollars which were built on the backs of the people working AT the corporation at lower-than-minimum wage.

Indeed. Peaceful demos rarely achieve anything apart from making the participants feel momentarily good. The Poll Tax Riots in the UK (that led to its eventual abolition) worked because those in power need reminding that people can’t be pacified with subsistence benefits and propaganda forever and might flex some violent muscle. This idea that the mass mobilisation of the majority of people could turn on their “masters” terrifies them so they engage in a never ending game of “divide & rule”.

This should be higher

I have $612 in savings and consider it pretty decent...

the choice was made by those who hoarded the fruit and poluted the oceans

Both are illegal. Maybe more referring to the punishment of said crime?

As a kid I would always ask what the point of money was. I thought that we should all just get stuff. Someone would argue that nobody would work for free but I felt like people would work small shifts to make bread or supply food or heal sick people. I dunno why but I just thought money was stupid and that many ecosystems thrive without money (literally all animals) so why couldn't we? I just thought I'd share with you guys. :)

I can guess the top 2 douches. Who's the 3rd? (Guessing Bezos and Musk 😑)

And CEO's don't "make" millions, they are PAID millions.

Fan fiction... best possible depiction.

There are 4 companies that control the 147 companies that own everything.

that's how pyramid schemes work; the "uplines" collect the cash and the downlines buy the product ("consumers") and "members"

Or have ridiculous requirements. Like why on earth do you need a Master’s degree in Library Sciences to be a librarian? Yes, I absolutely want to spend 100K in tuition to get a slightly higher than minimum wage paying job. I’ll stick with my GED and comfortably paying IT job that I freaking deplore. At least I can pay my bills.

Jesus was a socialist. Has anyone else noticed how many Christians are. The exact opposite of the what their savior told them to be?

Tbh hiding in a secluded forest in the middle of nowhere surviving purely off of stuff that I've hunted feels more and more awesome
