Where do I sign up to get my 20 acres? And do I get free agriculture school? Because capitalists took the land from indigenous people who were surviving and then intentionally destroyed the social institutions that would've let them revive their culture on a land grant. Ironically, capitalists eventually did the same thing to the descendants of the settlers, with a little less outright slaughter.
Therefore, I would say society owes all of us at least the land and the education—real hands on education and family-style support—before anyone can start saying wage "slavery" is a choice.
- ctdonath 10y agoFor $10,000 (we'll arrange it via a tax refund, turbotax.intuit.com), I'll have you on 20 acres of land next week (zillow.com) with the complete set of Foxfire books documenting Appalachian live-off-the-land survival (amazon.com), plus a set of basic tools needed (amazon.com), plus a camper to get you comfortably started (craigslist.com). As for "hands on" and "family style support", you're demanding luxuries that many settlers didn't have. I'm reading the Foxfire books, they're all you'll need for a good fair start.
