> start a commune,
That does not mean you are not part of the capitalist society anymore. You have to get enough capital to get land and you will have to continue paying taxes.
- chillwaves 10y agoI would say the most offensive/dishonest aspect of this loaded statement is basically the implied isolation of "you guys go over there, leave the world to us" -- as if only the capitalists can claim the inherited knowledge of humanity (fenced off with copyright laws etc). As if only the capitalists, who have taken so many (all) natural resources, have a right to the land we are born on and we must slave to pay for small parcel of land just to exist. How exactly is that "opting out" of capitalism again? It's more akin to playing socialism than actually living in it.
