Capitalism/imperialism is an economic system constructed for the purpose of theft and accumulation of wealth for those in power, regardless of what it does to the rest of humanity and the planet. Its built-in drive for profit has caused measureless human misery all over the world, and is threatening the very existence of life on Earth.

"It's sad that people seek happiness in superficialities, and never experience the joy of organizing resistance with people who mean it."

Kinda smug.

Capitalism is not a thing, but a process: the conversion of life into commodities into toxic waste.
