When we suggest that capitalism must be eliminated, someone always wants to know:
"What will you replace it with?"
If you have a cancerous tumor removed, do you think you need to replace it with something?
If you have a parasite sucking your life away, you remove it. You don't replace it with something else.
If you are a slave, you need freedom, not a new master.
Someone always asks:
"What is *your* solution?"
As if it's up to *me*. Like they can't imagine a world where people work things out together instead of following some leader's proprietary "solution". As if there has to be *one* solution for everyone. As if there even has to be "a solution".
As if capitalism was ever a solution to anything.
Solution to what?
The "problem" of being human beings?
