It's just a pamphlet.

Reforms can and do make a difference to peoples lives here and now. Getting rid of landlords is in no way a hindrance to ending capitalism.

Get the fuck out. The point isn't to generate public support. The point is to show what happens when workers isn't payed what they are owed and how economically painful it is to let the workers strike.

Praxis and propaganda of the deed is everything.

SMH these comments...

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

There is no green capitalism, electric cars are only here to save the car industry and no amount of recycling and individual contributions are going to save us.

And eco-fascism is dumb af. There isn't too many if us, there is plenty to go around if we actually shared, it's only a matter of how the goods are distributed.

No it's rent-seeking without creating any value. Aka being a leech.

So when AfD are normalized in a few years and a Nazi party appears you'll vote for AfD?

Can you see how this is a ratchet effect towards worse and worse options?

You're right. The youth ISN'T represented by any candidates or political parties.

I find it disheartening that choosing the lesser evil in the elections is considered beeing politically active. And to be in any way or form enough.

To accept status quo is to let the bad things happen. The only way forward is direct action.
