One of the ways the state maintains capitalism & white hegemony is through information warfare. The US state has the largest and most advanced propaganda apparatus on the planet. Revolutionary left wing tendencies do not exist for long in the status-quo. This is by design. Ignorance to left wing prefigured politics maintains the status-quo's legitimacy. The state is incredibly effective at coopting narratives to reform its image.

Personal property and private property are important distinctions. Personal property is established and maintained autonomously through social connections, while private property is maintained thru coercive systems and institutions (an invention from capitalism).

The threat of starvation and coercive violence are the main factors incentivizing people to work under capitalism.

For more - read ANARCHY WORKS by Peter Gelderloos. Chapter: Economy, "Without wages, what is the incentive to work?" (pg. 61)

Legitimizing capitalism will not free us from our material conditions

A rat done bit my sister Nell

With whitey on the moon

Her face and arms began to swell

And whitey's on the moon

I can't pay no doctor bills

But whitey's on the moon

Ten years from now I'll be payin' still

While whitey's on the moon

The man just upped my rent last night

Cause whitey's on the moon

No hot water, no toilets, no lights

But whitey's on the moon

I wonder why he's upping me?

Cause whitey's on the moon?

Well I was already giving him fifty a week

With whitey on the moon

Taxes taking my whole damn check

Junkies making me a nervous wreck

The price of food is going up

And as if all that shit wasn't enough:

A rat done bit my sister Nell

With whitey on the moon

Her face and arm began to swell

And whitey's on the moon

Was all that money I made last year

For whitey on the moon?

How come I ain't got no money here?

Hmm! Whitey's on the moon

Y'know I just 'bout had my fill

Of whitey on the moon

I think I'll send these doctor bills

Airmail special

To whitey on the moon

Green capitalism will not restore our collapsing ecosystem. Green capitalism is not collectively owned or controlled by the masses of people.

Green capitalism is a narrative that diverts attention from the hyper exploitative conditions we face under the rule of the state and capitalist elite.

Capitalism is a tumor that has the capacity to kill life itself. We need to become organized to sustain life and a future without capitalism.

We are in a parasitic relationship with capitalism. Capitalism constantly extracts from life and the environment. When life begin to limit captialism, capitalism will go to great ends to remove life. Capitalism is not sustainable, nor is it naturally occurring. Abolish this evil system.
