but see abolishment requires you to be deeply passionate about others and have a large imagination, sadly we live in a very hyper individualized society.

i dont care to have something if that means a whole lot of ppl will go without.

i also dont eat, sleep, and dream labor. i dont romanticize productivity. especially when the only way someone can get to the top is by exploitating those at the bottom.

it has less to do with “work ethic” and more to do with ones access to resources.

nobody in a position of power is smarter than you and i nor do they work harder than you and i and thats the schtick. this idea that if you work hard and grind hard you will be rich and in turn so will your family and their family and so on and so forth but thats rarely the case. its very hard to transcend social classes for one but for two “six” ppl being saved from the throes of capitalism means nothing, when you live a society where a large percentage of ppl are starving, attend poor schools, dont have safe housing, dont have clean water etc

ppl have more in common with the janitor than the ceo of the company they work for but when you live in a society that focuses on money more than anything else, the janitor is shunned while the true villain ( the ceo) keeps you on the hamster wheel chasing a green dollar.

but hey! i think folks would be better off working towards abolition than praying to god to become a millionaire or billionaire

plus one is far more realistic than the other

but honestly, racial terrorism is a business. the construction of race is the underlying “myth” behind economic exploitation and western 'progress'.

the concept of race was constructed to sustain this system of exploitation. so we cannot bemoan about racism and still wish to participate in capitalism.

you must abolish both.

sadly, niggas still have plans on becoming rich not realizing the very idea of having more than everybody else is what keeps us all perpetually stuck.

Ur assuming, to use this woman as an example. That her desire is to become rich, and not that her desire is to not to have to work for someone else. Her desire is to feel like she earned her money based on her own effort. That's positive self actualization. I think you are viewing this through the prism of your viewpoint on capitalism and making it more nefarious that it actually is.

Plus price point creates an expectation of clientele. Its the reason you see more vids of fights at chuckie cheese than disney world. No one is paying all that money just to get kicked out for throwing hands. Meanwhile, getting in chuckie cheese is free.

You're a rare breed.

Much respect
 
Never thought I'd see the day where Marxism was starting to be looked at seriously in this country. Here's an interesting video and I'll definitely check out some of the books Marx wrote. I don't agree with everything he said but I definitely think some of his philosophies should be taken into consideration.

All aspects of different societies should be viewed and somewhat used.

Nothing is perfect but a better one can be implemented

I dont think so....

Like honestly sometimes folks just tryna do a side hustle to make some extra bread.

Some folks want to start their own business so they dont have to answer to some asshole boss that knows less than they do.

To shit on people just trying to sell a product to people that want to buy it for whatever price they set... seems ridiculous to me

We have more important shit to be outraged about than a sista selling overpriced durags to folks that wanna pay 40 for it lol
 
I ain’t sayin’ it’s a good idea to sell a damn do-rag for 40 bucks...

But, while some of y’all criticize black business owners for their tactics..

I bet some of you same people wouldn’t have any problem with this....

bruh, you ain't gotta have any type of established market to charge a grip for whatever you're selling. You just gotta make people believe it's worth that much.

you dont in general - the example you gave had their market share prior is all im saying. look at kanye - he can sell his shower curtain tee's for any price because of his pre-existing base

if it was kanye from down the block trying to sell the samething for 500.00 a piece - there would be no lineup - he'll have to figure it out from there

look like she has her online following so far, hopefully she parlays that
