You seem to be conflating capitalism with democracy. Which suggests you want some kind of authoritarian socialism or communism, which - no thank you. And now you are not talking about the ‘working class’, which definitely includes a vast majority so has no democratic barriers, but a ‘revolutionary class’ - ie, ‘the party’, a small group that seize power and oppress the rest ruthlessly. Again, no thank you. That is just trading one group of self-intrerested individuals with no restraints (who are psychopathic about it) for another group (who are ruthless zealots about it).

If you can organize the working classes that fully before violence, you have enough alignment to use democratic or other non-violent means to change the system.

The real problem is that it doesn’t matter if your end goal is violence or not - it’s that the current state will bring violence to you loooong before you are able to organize that sufficiently. Including villianizing you - which plans of violence and destabilization help them with.

You can’t say “we’ll organize first” because no you can’t.

As others have said, these European tourists aren’t helping the system by doing this.

They are however, getting to enjoy acting like the very worst Americans - the ones who don’t tip and feel smug about it.

What does ‘in the middle’ look like? Getting vaccines for some things and not others?

As someone who is an expert in one area and as dependent as anyone else in others, and who also hates appeals to authority -

To me, the correct stance is that any should be able to question things that don’t make intuitive sense or that one suspects might be a perspective motivated by financial considerations instead of expertise.

Note that I said question. Not invent your own replacement fever-dream explanation.

Questions require good-faith attempts to find information and understand.

Not pitch something where its main virtue is that it makes ignorance feel good actually.

I hope this takes off so DDG improves their search engine. I’ve tried to switch, but 2/3 of the time the results are off target and I end up back at Google anyway.
