People grew food for eachother before capitalism. A book that opened my eyes to the various systems that people organized themselves under before capitalism monopolized world is The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow.

    Could you, though? Do you realize the level of knowledge, work, and risk that entailed?

    Unless you've actually done it and survived without external inputs like fertilizer, pesticides, emergency food, tools.... what do you know about growing your own food?

    You're living in a fantasy world.

    I'm just saying there are more ways to form a society than exclusively through the complete control and exploitation of people and the environment like we've been doing for the last 100 years.

    Just because capitalism is the only way you know to live , doesn't mean it's the only way to live.

    Yes I do realize what's involved. Why would you assume everyone is as ineffective as you are? Why do you think only billionaires can solve problems when EVERY BIT OF EVIDENCE shows the exact fucking opposite?
