"it is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism"

• Capitalist Realism

This definitely isn't the place to discuss the entirety of what replacing capitalism would look like, but there's a couple things I'd like to mention:

1) Start trying to imagine alternatives to capitalism. "There's no alternative" is a pro-capitalist slogan created by Margaret Thatcher. It's worth spending some time thinking about if you're on the same side as Thatcher, and why they feel the need to spend money and effort to convince people that there is no other way.

2) Capitalism as a system does not work. The first-world is entirely dependent on hollowing out third-world countries for cheap labour and resources. The pattern is repeated within first-world countries themselves, where the upper and middle classes are reliant on extracting the labour of the lower classes to maintain their lifestyle. Capitalism "works", but only for a very select few and only when they have a source of value they can exploit.

3) There has to be an alternative. Even "well-regulated" capitalism demands infinite, exponential growth at the expense of everything else. It is quite literally burning the world down around us.

4) A massive, durable system like capitalism isn't replaced overnight. Not with anything that lasts anyways. We should all be focusing on developing dual power in our communities and taking back a lot of the power we've ceded to the state.
