I hate capitalism, not as an abstract idea, but as the system that defines every hour of our lives. It’s built on exploitation: profit over people, hoarding over fairness, and the systematic creation of suffering so a few can live in excess.
You can see it everywhere: hospitals run like businesses, housing treated like a commodity, education turned into debt. Every “crisis” under capitalism — housing, climate, healthcare — isn’t a malfunction. It’s the system functioning exactly as designed.
Capitalism isn’t natural. It’s a historical stage, and it’s one that’s exhausted itself. The ruling class tells us “poverty is falling” as if global misery is acceptable collateral for billionaire wealth. But inequality isn’t an accident; it’s the engine that keeps capitalism running. When you work, you create more value than you’re paid for. That unpaid labor becomes profit which is extracted and accumulated until the very people who create everything own nothing. That’s not a bug. That’s the core contradiction: workers create all wealth but control none of it.
So the next move isn’t just hating capitalism. It’s organizing against it. Protests, memes, and writing all matter, but their goal must be to build class consciousness: to connect the struggles we already see — over housing, over healthcare, over dignity — into a unified fight for worker power.
We can’t reform a system built on exploitation. We have to replace it with one run democratically by workers for the common good.
The question isn’t whether capitalism deserves to fall. The question is: are we ready to build what comes after?
