We’ve been raised within a capitalist system. It’s going to take a lot of re-education to let it go. Events like Rainbow Gatherings give people an experience of barter systems & anarchy, while Maker Fairs show us how to fix & re-use things.
Reading Kropotkin’s Conquest of Bread has good ideas about unplugging from corporate food sources.
We have to seek these things out. Capitalism is not inevitable. It’s a system that must be destroyed.
@ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs I walked into a cannabis shop the other day wearing one of my hands knit shawls, and one of the budtenders asked if I had a card because she wanted to commission something.
I've run into people assuming that my knitting is for sale so many times, and often with zero idea of what goes into designing and knitting an item.
