Statements like these always remind me of the quote: "For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. Racism and homophobia are real conditions of all our lives in this place and time. I urge each one of us here to reach down into that deep place of knowledge inside herself and touch that terror and loathing of any difference that lives here. See whose face it wears. Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices." - Audre Lorde
IMO using the system in a way that abuses the system only perpetuates another system of abuse.
What does that mean? I can read it in too many directions.
That's what currently is happening. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture
More competition is needed, more market economy, to make the system fair again. It's not abusing the system to start a business.
No, it's just using the system as it is intended. But most businesses fail.
We need to abolish the system.
That's ok. It's possible to invest in more than one company.
And do what?
Good old communism.
No advertising, no stocks, no fucking with money at all.
First step is to house and feed everyone, and build rails all over the world, to stop the car brain rot.
Then we figure out what's next.
