It’s not enough to know and state that Capitalism is bad.

It’s not even enough to know and state that the alternative should be Socialism/Communism/Anarchism.

If we are unable to not only conceive of alternative economic institutions, but also build them together, fascism wins.
When things begin to collapse even more, we need to have both social *and* economic structures in place that not only meet the needs of poor and working-class people, but that are also prefigurative – reflecting the kind of society we want to see – and antithetical to domination.
Only throwing money at people who are, for the most part, reacting to the problems instead of trying to build the solutions, or expecting a tiny cross-section of society to fight the good fight on behalf of everyone else?

These are dead-end approaches.

Capitalism is too strong.
The levee is going to break.

Are we preparing to channel the water?
