    The system is working as designed, it cannot be changed. It needs to be replaced entirely. Just as we didn’t change monarchies, we beheaded them and put in something better

      I agree: -The system cannot be changed from within, because it simply will never allow it. Capitalism will co-opt EVERYTHING, including subcultures AGAINST capitalism. That is why you can now buy ripped clothing in stores.

      -We only beheaded a very few monarchists (France mostly). The others are still there mostly, embedded in whatever “modern” system ostensibly replaced them. Look at the UK, Belgium, Thailand, … Even countries that turned republics still have Rothschilds and the like in their governments, even though they were “elected”.

      There’s a quote from Ursula K LeGuin about how the ancient Right of Kings seemed inescapable, and that we will one day do the same with capitalism. I don’t believe in it, because capitalism is much more sinister and capable than the old monarchies ever were.
