Lol fuck capitalism *tweets off iphone and eats quinoa bowl a third worlder died harvesting*

*reads literature once*

...

What the fuck is with the emote spam?
Social media is to human interaction what small pox was to the native americans.

serves you bookfags right for not being popular enough to have any mods LOLE

>implying it won't

You mean the system which alienates workers from their labour and product. runs off the exploitation of their labour as well as what funds Wars for profit and causes the deaths of millions annually?

Or is that just HUMAN NATURE?
""""Capitalism""""" didn't """INVENT""" my iPhone, a chinese woman working in a shitty factory with a shitty pay check, being forced into wage slavery.

The Chinese peasant didn't invent your iPhone, the Chinese peasant built your iPhone like a child would build a Lego set. That Chinese peasent, whom capitalism saved from the harshness of agricultural work and from the mass starvation caused by communism, has a higher standard of living then all of her ancestors because of a market based economy.

How are we going to seize the means of production if they're off limits because we're giving capitalism the sort of respect we'd give an elderly person or a disabled veteran?

pretty sure most quinoa in circulation is now grown in the united states

Capitalist inventions like GMOs and vaccines have saved more lives than any other inventions in human history. 2015 was the first year where more people died for eating too much than from eating too little, which is thanks to the material advancement made possible by capitalism.

the same person made all of these posts

damn nigga u surrounded by a cadre of spooks

>technology made available to you through a capitalist economy

Every time you use a simple machine you are committing a performative contradiction by not participating in a prehistoric foraging society.

>18 yous
god I'm cool

The point isn't that she's a hypocrite, it's that she's acting against her own self interest. Kids who live off their iphones are minimizing their power and influence by claiming that the tools that allowed them to express themselves to the entire world are the result of oppression

I only got two (You)s lad. Thanks anyway

Theres only ever been two people on this website user. You and me.
I just post alot more than you.

socialism will win

Oh no if capitalism didn't exist she wouldn't be able to post about how capitalism shouldn't exist!

I highly doubt that every single one of her posts are about capitalism, and if capitalism were dismantled that she'd be okay with not using the tools of expression made possible by capitalism to talk about other issues. Even the staunchest leftist doesn't think that Twitter is just a tool for dismantling capitalism.

There's no contradiction if they believe the production of iphones and whatever else can be done in a more ethical or socially conscious way.

If she is an American female is in the top %1 of people to ever exist in history.
Don't really have a point, other than she seems like kind of a basic bitch

Socialists are too lazy to get up at 7 am and make their beds every morning. Socialists are too lazy to change the system.

that reminds me of milton friedman talk.

It's entirely logically consistent to use the tools and weapons capitalism has invented to precipitate capitalism's own destruction. I'd argue it's even satisfyingly ironic.

what the fuck is a foodie? someone who enjoys eating? so for women a biological necessity such as eating is glamorized into a hobby? they've turned their consumerist love for fast food a label?

This is true.

What's wrong with eating quinoa? It's not my responsibility to make sure everything fucking piece of material I ever touch or consume or enjoy was produced ethically. Who has the capacity and wherewithal to do that? You have to allow other parties, e. g. the individuals and sovereign nation states that produce the quinoa, to look out for their own interests. There's a difference, fundamentally, between action and inaction. If there weren't, you would be committing murder every second of every day just by staying alive and hogging all your organs.

First of all, the ethical concerns people have when it comes to Foxconn are highly exaggerated. The suicide rate there is lower than the suicide rate of China as a whole. Second, a capitalist economy doesn't necessitate free trade agreements with pseudo communist countries like China; a capitalist country can have an ethical iPhone production factory that doesn't involve cheap labor,

Yes, it's awful isn't it?

It's not logical in the least; its partially asking for your own destruction by limiting your toolset and therefore limiting your power. It's masochistic.

How can I be a commie but not associate myself with people who look and write like this?
Move to Europe?

the IP counter is useless in the age of the phoneposter, no idea why it was introduced

>destruction by limiting your toolset and therefore limiting your power.

o_O

Her post has been seen by thousands of people. That's a sort of power that none of her ancestors enjoyed. She wants to stop the economic engine that gave her that platform.

whoever drew this is megabitter and resentful. not a good look

yes.

but are we - or is she - any better for it?

No. But unless she only uses Twitter to dismatle capitalism, then she's arguing for her own concession of power, which is masochistic, and which would allow the powerful to create an even larger hegemony.

This a bigger strawman than the strawman it's trying to dispel. No one says that having property is a tacit endorsement of capitalism, only that criticizing capitalism using the tools brought to you by capitalism is contradictory.

there's nothing inherently capitalistic about the inventions of phones, computers, or internet. In fact, the core technological advances that enabled the creation of smart phones were based on public research

Why would you want to be eaten by third worlders?

>criticizing capitalism using the tools brought to you by capitalism is contradictory.

This is retard logic.

>Criticizing public schooling using the education brought to you by public schooling is contradictory.

Mass production of smart phones leading to their affordability and the creation of platforms like Twitter are the result of market incentives

>No one says that having property is a tacit endorsement of capitalism
But that's wrong. To some people being against capitalism and being anything more than a hobbo is a contradiction.

>criticizing capitalism using the tools brought to you by capitalism is contradictory
That's as retarded.

Retarded analogy. Knowledge and material goods are fundamentally different concepts. Using a tool to destroy the hardware store means that you'll have no more tools. Knowledge, on the other hand, can be passed on without the help of an
institution.

A lot of "committed leftists" at university use apple laptops, even though much cheaper computers are available. I'm not him, but I would like an explanation for this kind of contradictory behavior.

She's criticising the rich.

Literally weaponized shitposting.

When the people let me become King of America I will hang the CEO Walmart, McDondald's et al for treason. I will commission a deep learning algorithm be created to run through all court cases, including transcripts. Any living judge found to be corrupt will be murdered for treason.

Requests for H1-B visas will be closely vetted and analysed, and will dictate where educational efforts will go. A country's inability to fill its own employment demands speaks to an educational problem and H1-B visas are only a temporary solution.

Welfare will be replaced for a living wage minimum and research will begin for basic income. This will push companies to innovate, automate and dramatically increase production.

Allow me to be your King and through me, you will have eternal euphoria.

I'm not sure if I understand the psyche of the modern communist/socialist. Why do they hate the rich?

It's irony.

Simple resentment. Same reason /r9k/ hates Chad

Daddy issues.

labor created it. capitalism determined the means in which said labor occurred.

Same reason the old ones did

that is exactly what the powerful want.

they blame rich people in banks for the 2008/9 recession thanks to Fannie Mae (ironically a half-gov entity) falsely rating subprime mortgages as AAA to turn a quick buck.

This is literally all just a snowballed effect from that

>there's nothing inherently capitalistic about the inventions of phones, computers, or internet
Their wide spread is inherently capitalistic. Planned economy is shit when it comes to consumer goods.
