You can’t destroy a system billions of people depend on without killing billions of people. We need to learn to not depend on it first.
Our only hope is to culturally evolve past our current situation, and we’re kinda of in the process of that now. I’m almost 50, when I was growing up any talk like this was old hippy fantasy (hippies are 25 yrs older than me), but now it’s come back and more real than ever.
More and more people are seeing the police not as a helpful and necessary but as oppressors and sadists. Eating rich people is talked about every day. People are starting to realize that any state is inherently corruptible and if we want peace and sustainability we need to see the string of failures that is the state and realize it’s a failed technology.
At some point, hopefully we’ll get better at strategizing and acting instead of just complaining and protesting. Realistically using the tools we have available (e.g. the state) to put those currently running the system in their place.
Run for office, vote, be less dependent on the system, do mutual aid.

Don’t be so absolute. You can destroy capitalism very well without destroying the people within it.
True, the death toll in practice has only been in the range of 3.5 to 5 million in one case or 1 million up to many many more in another, with 20 million deaths being a probably-unlikely outlier estimate on the high side. I don’t think it’s ever killed billions or even close to it.
You just send me on a rabbithole and Til
A part of the movement who’s nain motive was to maintain communism apparently included the creation of social classes…

“Members of the Black Classes were systematically discriminated against, as one’s classification could affect employment opportunities and career prospects and even marriage opportunities. This could also be passed onto their children. Over time this resulted in a victimized underclass that was treated as if it were still composed of powerful and dominant people”
Literally facism… of course to some this was already apparent but with this information bring public its baffeling that so many still believe china is political left.
The groups were:[1][2][3]
- Landlords (地主; dìzhǔ)
- Rich farmers (富农; fùnóng)
- Counter-revolutionaries (反革命; fǎngémìng)
- Bad influencers [“bad elements”] (坏分子; huàifènzǐ)
- Right-wingers (右派; yòupài)
The French revolution claimed all men were created equal yet oppressed the noble clergy classes.
