The way to beat this system is to build alternatives and wean people off of their dependence on it, and deprive it of victims.

And how do you propose we do this considering the only way the system can have alternatives is if the system allows for alternatives which (spoiler) >!it won't!<.

    Direct action; ie: don't wait for the permission you will never get. Just start building locally, do mutual aid, make one another's lives better now.

    There are links there to the text and a version with no music if you'd prefer those.

    I appreciate the genuine response. It's good for my cynical ass.

    No worries, a lot of people are stuck in hierarchical realism. We're programmed for it from the moment we begin school or earlier if we had authoritarian parents. It's nobody's fault if they haven't yet imagined a future without hierarchy.

    Edit: It's also nice to get a genuine reply back, so thanks.
