Capitalism creates socioeconomic inequality by concentrating wealth and power among a select few, perpetuates systemic oppression, inherently exploits labor which leads to alienation and a lack of worker autonomy, prioritizes profit over social needs, and exacerbates environmental degradation and resource depletion. We aren't the problem. Capitalism is the problem.

Under capitalism, workers are exploited due to them being forced to exchange their labor for wages, while the capitalist class profits by appropriating the surplus value created by the workers. Workers, despite receiving wages, lack control over the means of production and decision-making, leading to an unequal power dynamic. Any worker who identifies with capitalists is suffering a form of Stockholm Syndrome, where they align with their oppressor due to systemic conditioning and societal norms.

Anarcho-Communist envisions a society rooted in the rejection of capitalist structures and values. We reject individualism. We reject private ownership. We reject hierarchal structures. We reject competition. We reject profit-making. Instead we promote the good things: community-centered living, communal ownership, horizontal non-coercive organization, mutual aid, and focusing on meeting the needs of all individuals! #communism #mutualaid #horizontalorganization #anticapitalism #solidarity

"People assume that you can't have order without a state, a centralized government. So, anarchism becomes chaos by default. The reality is that state systems produce the chaos. States produce inequality, poverty, enforced and manufactured scarcity and the byproduct is a class system. Anarchy is actually order because anarchists are really good at organizing. You only need bureaucracy or the threat of violence, police, prisons, or standing armies, if you're really bad at organizing" David Graeber

Slavery stills exist! Despite the legal abolition of traditional slavery, Capitalism perpetuates a form of wage slavery, where individuals are bound by necessity to sell their labor. This economic coercion and the pervasive influence of employers mirrors the exploitative power dynamics of historical slavery. Wage labor is nothing more than a subtler, yet more pervasive, form of enslavement affecting the broader population.

Defund (and abolish) the police, invest in communities to tackle root causes of crime (poverty, social injustice), and promoting equity and cooperation over coercive policing.

No, I can't name a communist government because there's no such thing as a communist government. 🤦‍♀️

I believe in building a broad, inclusive Anarchist movement, and that requires Anarchist to have a positive public image. Anarchist presenting themselves positively to people can help dispel misconceptions about Anarchism, making it more appealing to a wider audience. By avoiding negativity, Anarchist would aim to attract potential allies who may share common goals despite ideological differences, fostering a more unified and effective movement for social change. #anarchism #inclusive #positive

The Capitalist system prioritizes military interests and profit over the well-being of the impoverished. The needs and cries of the poor can not continue to be ignored. We need a decentralized, classless society where resources are collectively managed to ensure everyone's basic needs are met. We need a system that promotes equitable distribution and focuses on meeting basic human needs rather than engaging in conflict.

Humanity must escape Capitalism. Capitalism epitomizes a system rife with exploitation and inequality. Capitalism creates economic disparities, where a privileged few amass wealth and control resources at the expense of the marginalized many. Capitalism has an inherent tendency to commodify human labor, creating alienation and reducing individuals to mere cogs in the profit-driven machinery. In essence, Capitalism is antithetical to human progress and freedom.

Capitalism functions seamlessly in exploiting individuals. The deliberate imposition of financial insecurity leaves people weary and preoccupied with the fear of poverty. This state of perpetual exhaustion and concern over income loss creates a vulnerable populace, making it convenient for those in power to exploit and underpay them. Relentless struggle for needs and fear of homelessness distracts the working class from challenging a system thriving on worker exhaustion.

A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that's going on right now.

Workers are forced into wage slavery under capitalism, unable to escape the cycle of poverty.

Anarcho-Communism is a radical socio-political paradigm rooted in the rejection of both state authority and class distinctions that advocates for a stateless, classless society where the means of production are collectively owned and managed by the community through direct democracy, voluntary association, and decentralized decision-making.

A Federalist organization made up of people united under the goal of creating an Anarcho-Communist society is essential for the realization of this vision.

To those who say "capitalism doesn't force people to do anything. They have free will", if someone put a gun to the head of someone, would that not be a use of force? And how would you feel if the gunman said "I'm not forcing you to do anything. You have the freewill not to give me your money." But if you don't then you'll die, just like the worker will die if they don't do what the capitalist says.

Both Capitalism and The Dictatorship of the Proletariat, associated with Marxist socialism, are oppressive systems. Capitalism perpetuates inequality, exploitation, and alienation due to private ownership of means of production. On the other hand, the Marxist concept of a temporary "proletarian" dictatorship leads to a new form of state oppression. True liberation can only be achieved by dismantling both capitalist structures and centralized state authority.

Mutual aid is a fundamental principle of Anarchy. In the absence of hierarchical structures, individuals are naturally inclined to work together for the benefit of the community. By emphasizing mutual aid, people can meet their basic needs without relying on oppressive systems and create a society where individuals willingly assist one another in a spirit of solidarity and equality.

Capitalism can't function optimally without external intervention, as it inherently produces oppressive hierarchies and perpetuates inequality. Some say we need state regulations. Why not just abolish capitalism altogether? I believe that decentralized, voluntary cooperation and collective ownership of the means of production would create a more equitable and just society than reliance on state regulations within a Capitalist framework.

Criticizing capitalism while participating in it is not hypocritical because our individual actions within the capitalist system are a means of survival within the existing system, not an endorsement of it. Advocating for systemic change doesn't negate the need to navigate the current structure for basic needs, considering it coercively shapes people's lives.

I know that The Satanic Temple doesn't align with anarchist or communist principles, but I've always loved their Baphomet statue. I appreciate it, not just for its beauty, but because of what it represents: its emphasis on individual autonomy, free expression, and challenging traditional power structures. The statue symbolizes resistance to authoritarianism and the promotion of personal freedom, which resonates with me as an Anarcho-Communist.

Me, once again, having to explain to someone that Anarcho-Communism isn't an oxymoron. I hate the way "state communist" have tarnished the word Communism.

The Nazis frequently used dehumanizing language and derogatory terms to refer to #communism and #communists. They portrayed communism as an evil force to be eradicated, and this dehumanization of communists played a significant role in the Nazi regime's persecution of political opponents, including communists, during their rule in Germany. This person is propagating Nazi rhetoric.

The traditional electoral system, where individuals choose leaders periodically, doesn't ensure genuine freedom. This process merely allows people to select new rulers within a hierarchical structure, maintaining systemic oppression.

We need a stateless, classless society with collective ownership and decision-making to achieve true individual freedom.

Hierarchical power dynamics, even in representative democracies, fundamentally limit personal autonomy.
