those who control the means of production, power and financing have vested interested in keeping their control over these resources, and limitting other peoples access. this is known to marxists as ¨class antagonism¨ it is irreconcilable conflict between landlords-renters, proprietors-workers, politicians-voters, police-community, etc. Under capitalism we are prevented, violently at times, from developing ways of working together, so we are forced into satisfying our own short term needs by sellingone another out and competing for relatively insignificant piece of the pie, hopefully but not always enough to survive and enrich our lives. Its notabout labor, wisdom or even luck, but who you know that controls power in your community, and aiding in their exclusive control over your community, in exchange you get to enjoy a little more privelege, at the cost of everyone else in your community. What I am for is not helping others learn to access more privelege in this unjust system, but dismantling the system, and using examples of co-operative day to day means of survival as practiced in marginalized, and freer societies, to develop a more inclusive and egalitarian kind of community. We cannot do this so long as capital dictates everything around us. It will take resistance, ideally non violent, but the need for phisical self defense and direct action is very real, because historically there has always been a very violent response to otherwise peaceful acts of redistribution and declaring autonomy from systems we dont want to participate in.
