Capitalism lack of logic
This morning I woke up, and in the few minutes after that, I had the random memory of someone mocking another communist for using products from capitalism (such as computers), and I thought about what my response to that would be. And this is what I came up with:
By that logic, communists should retreat to the wilderness, build a cabin on the land built with... what? Stone tools? That I’d have to knapp from flint, but I’d have to either teach myself how to do that, or else learn the skill from someone for free, someone who learned it from someone else and so on down the line, because books or YouTube video would involve CAPITALISM, so I can’t learn from those. And I’d have to have a garden with all local foods grown from local seeds, again using stone or wooden tools. And hunt for meat with stone tools, too. Because OMG can’t spend any money, can’t support capitalism, heavens forfend we support capitalism to fucking SURVIVE.
