    we don’t have capitalism.

    🤦 To say that is to say you don’t have even a Wikipedia-level understanding of capitalism.

    People think there’s one trick, one system, one thing that will fix shit.

    No, people don’t think that.

    Nothing will but work, time, effort, good judgement.

    Correct.

    What worked yesterday, won’t work tomorrow, at least without updating it.

    Correct.

    I don’t want to put in another fucking ism, I want to buckle the fuck down and fix the shit that’s wrong.

    People who don’t learn or develop theory can buckle down all they want, but they’re not going to get very far because they don’t understand anything.

    It is a lot of work, time, and effort, and some of that is necessarily intellectual work, if you actually want to succeed in changing the world. Otherwise it’s like saying you want to be able fly without developing theories of physics, aerodynamics, and internal combustion engines.

      I’m not going to reply to any more stupidity in here. Go theorize all you want. I’ll just leave one comment.

      Otherwise it’s like saying you want to be able fly without developing theories of physics, aerodynamics, and internal combustion engines.

      Check a history book, that’s precisely how we started flying.
