I feel like there's a divide between reasons why anti-capitalists opposed capitalism, which is pretty well determined by their stance on IP:

- As an IP abolitionist, I oppose capitalism because property rights stifle freedom; their purpose is to prevent people from using stuff and should only be employed when absolutely necessary, like with toothbrushes. It should not be employed with second or third houses the owner rarely even visit, and *definitely* should not be employed with non-scarce things like information (art, inventions, scientific knowledge, etc)

- pro-IP communists, on the other hand, seem to oppose capitalism because the bourgeoisie are leeches taking the surplus value of workers' labour, who deserve the full value of what they produce. It's a very zero-sum, meritocratic way of thinking imo, and I feel like I have more in common with anti-IP libertarians and ancaps than communists of this stripe, even though I agree more with the communists on object-level economic prescriptions.

And you can bet there was some MAGAt laughing at the boss's joke, too stupid to know his labor was being robbed as well.

What if I say possesion storylines are secretly about domination and colonialism and the way in which the whims of the capital dictates every single aspect of social relations, and SA, which in turn is also about colonialism

Also to the people who were saying that they already made a lot of money so they didn't need to go on strike, that $400 Billion is their money. they earned it with THEIR labor. record profits are unpaid wages.

It's been months and I still can't get over how unbelievably stupid that fudge rounds song was and how blatantly the attempt to market it as a working class anthem was reminiscent of German Nazis trying to rebrand themselves as socialists because they hate the idea of socialism itself but love redirecting justified outrage at other poor people.
