    I think we can stop at "Okay but we need to be able to do that". Capitalism, radical change, those are challenges for sure but the alternative is death. I assume, if I ever get anything off the ground, somebody with a megaphone is going to find a way to have a problem with it, either because they have their own sinister goals, or they are genuinely misguided, or perhaps they have a valid point and I really did miss something. In any case, I think the best approach is to assume what is necessary is possible and try to jump the hurdles as we get to them.

    The problem is the capitalists are more concerned with their share of the pie than there ever being pie again.

    They need to die for us to live. Thoroughly and with sloppily. Every one. It fucking sucks. I hate the amount of ways we've trapped ourselves in necessarily violent situations where we just don't escape without bloodshed.
