You don’t have to be anti-capitalist to recognize that global capitalism has been weaponized, used too often as a tool by which to subjugate the poor. As many lives as it has lifted out of poverty it has thrown into despair.

And Socialism has been weaponized, too.
Capitalism is a predatory system, it is enslavement.

Please don't take this the wrong way but you need to start vetting people more. I know some of your friends mean well but you keep lending legitimacy to these fake progressive movements designed to split the left. Like #M4M4A turning on @ninaturner & @CoriBush.

Material power - just as bad as any other type of power.
While socialism is offered in countries where the U.S. has target government takedowns. The result is extreme poverty for everyone and billions in resources for military generals with kickbacks to congress.

Weaponized? That is what it is.

But you should be anti-capitalist

Here's the thing. Those lives lifted out of poverty, the majority of them serve the rich through exploitation. Humans are born into a slavery system. You either work for the corporate structure or you die. Even owning your business is working for the corporate structure. And 👇

Truth! What actions are people going to do today to lift up the poor?

I just watched the video about the Frito Lay employee who was injured on the job after working 20 hr shifts. So sad & infuriating.
