    There are plenty of things to hate about capitalism but that doesn’t justify this their causing actual harm to real people. We can sit back and forth and discuss theoretical harm that the system causes but in the real world, we are forced to participate in it and should try reducing the actual visible harm caused by a thief stealing this family’s likely most expensive possession.

    If you have ever been curious why socialists don’t win election and why people cling to punitive reactionaries, It’s because ideology being put above pragmatism by so many leftists. If I’m struggling antiwork and fuckcars rhetoric on social media don’t pay my bills. So we are never going to get the support needed to reform the system if we justify violence against the people forced to participate in it.
