I Believe

I believe capitalism is a scam. It’s a pyramid scheme that exploits labor, commodifies life, and rewards sociopathy. It needs to go.

I believe the state serves capital, not people. Real power lies with the rich, and the state protects their wealth–not our freedom.

I believe direct action matters. Real change comes from disruption, not politely asking for crumbs.

I believe mutual aid>charity. We should build systems of care that don’t depend on billionaires “giving back” stolen wealth.

I believe hierarchy is the problem. Bosses, cops, landlords, or tech bros pretending to be geniuses–power concentrated in the hands of a few always leads to abuse.

I believe in organizing locally to disrupt globally. We need tight, local networks and chaotic energy aimed at breaking down systems everywhere.

I believe electoral politics is a tactic, not a solution. Voting might buy us time, but it won’t save us.

I believe life is absurd. When reality feels like a joke then fight back with humor, mockery, and meaning-making of your own.

I believe anti-natalism isn’t nihilism. Refusing to create new life in a broken world can be an act of radical empathy.

I believe revolution isn’t just possible–it’s necessary. It doesn’t have to look like the past. It can be weirder, funnier, more chaotic, and more human.

  1. I believe I agree with that, nailed it.

    I think if people from our past, idealists, revolutionaries, philosophers and so on were to see what has become of the world they would be horrified. We celebrate wankers and faun over disgustingly rich pricks.

    1. The question I keep asking people is “What are we gonna do?” No one has an answer, they just bitch online. If someone can come up with a plan to fight back against this administration then I’m all in. 100%.

      1. Social media has taken the wind out of the sails of disobedience, people equate trolling with actual civil disobedience or political action, big win for politicians who no longer worry about protesters.

      2. I fully agree. All people do is say “someone needs to do something!” Well, come up with a fucking idea! Someone! Anyone! We know the system is fucked and the people in government are corrupt and simply pointing out something we already know every day doesn’t change anything. Apparently voting doesn’t either. If voting actually changed shit, they wouldn’t let us do it.

      3. You see that a lot here as well, lots of complaining but no one even protests. This is why i cringe when the word hero gets bandied about like it means anything any more. We need another Martin Luther – either the original or the Jnr. A peasants revolt – anything that gets the people of fucking twitter and breaking windows.

        Voting is only part of the picture but now it seems to everyone we are choosing a lesser evil, the leaders get stymied by the corporation which is the party. You saw it with Obama – he promised change then sat on his hands until he lost control of the senate. The people went to trump because it was a change, someone who was different – ha – be careful what you ask for right?
