Imagine a world where nature and society are no longer at odds but at peace. A world where we no longer struggle to survive, but where labor and innovation benefits us rather than the wealthy.

The fact that the ghouls in our society feel like they actually have to sell young people on capitalism itself (which you can see if you look at literally any Turning Point USA propaganda poster, or any similarly Koch or billionaire funded venture) means that we have successfully broken at least one layer of capitalist realism. People are talking about potential alternatives, or else we wouldn’t have to be told that “capitalism works!” so much. There used to be an assumption that capitalism was literally all there could ever be. That clearly is not the case now. This is actually a massive shift towards left-wing politics and liberation that I feel we don’t credit ourselves enough with. We’ve broken down one ideological barrier pretty substantially.

Anarchism and socialism are the most lovey dovey, compassionate, adorable and cuddly ideologies imaginable. We are literally attempting to build a world where nobody suffers needlessly, because we all take care of each other. Love fundamentally defines us. I get that there are times when the left needs to appear frightening or aggressive, in order to stand up to those who would kill all of us and those we love - but frightening and aggressive isn’t at the core of what we believe in and what we fight for. Selfless love encapsulates us. (From: kropotkhristian.tumblr.com)

The questioning of the capitalist machine is becoming increasingly present - even TeenVogue has published an article on Karl Marx. Quote from the article: “When I teach Marx, it’s got a lot to do with questions of how to think critically about history. Marx says we live under capitalism [but] capitalism has not always existed,” Ciccariello-Maher tells Teen Vogue. “It’s something that came into being and something that, as a result, just on a logical level, could disappear, could be overthrown, could be abolished, could be irrelevant. There’s this myth of the free market, but Marx shows very clearly that capitalism emerged through a state of violence.” (https://www.teenvogue.com/story/who-is-karl-marx)
