Me on September 8, 2011... elsewhere:
Anyone claiming boycotts, strikes, et cetera are uncapitalistic hasn't understood basic principle of capitalism: Demand.
We demand justice.
Until you supply for our demand of justice in your products, it is in fact part of capitalism to refuse buying them.
I say this not to defend capitalism (as I consider it a cannibalistic system) but to at least demand capitalists be good at what they are.
@b9AcE
YES!
I specifically love the part where you mention capitalism is cannibalistic tho. It's a very accurate description of the experience of those who were abused by the system but then work for it in the end.
@danishcookies Well, Capitalism needs both resources and people to maintain itself, but eats up all of both to increase itself and thereby devours itself.
That is beyond cannibalistic, really.
@danishcookies Destructive by nature and destructive to nature, which is a nature of its self-destruction (among several).
