Snufkin is often seen as a free spirit who values personal freedom and dislikes material possessions or hierarchical control. He is a carefree, anti-establishment character who despises private property and the trappings of capitalism, as evidenced by his habit of tearing down "private property" signs.
He embodies a philosophy of simplicity, independence, and living in harmony with nature, making him appear anti-hierarchical and anti-capitalist in spirit. This aligns with hi…

I like when the #NYPost says the quiet part out loud. See, ending illegal labor practices and paying workers a living wage is "anti-capitalist." Being in favor of #capitalism means being happy crushing your workers and driving them into poverty.
If only they said that more…

What is #degrowth?
We offer a definition wherein the fundamental core is the planned reduction of energy and material use to keep within planetary limits, while the associated 'pluriversal' belt of concepts and practices is also essential to degrowth.

The paradox of Nazism being both the most capitalist thing possible, defining itself as explicitly anticommunist, while masquerading as "socialism" is difficult to resolve until you understand one thing: fascism pivots around antisemitism (and its extension, conspiratorial thinking).
I'm, of course, not talking about the redefinition of "antisemitism" into meaning any criticism of Israel but rather an anti-Jewish conspiracy narrative rooted in Roman Christianity.
This is critical to understand as MAGA fascism pivots between capitalist and pseudo-anticapitalist with Trump in the middle. Hitler did the same thing. Strasserism helped the Nazis gain power by pulling in the Left. In the Nazis case they killed the Stasserists pretty quickly. Now, I think we're seeing an attempt to make the opposite pivot happen in MAGA. But it's all the same thing.
Fascism can infinitely fail to address the needs of the people while dismissing it's own responsibility for creating the problem by maintaining a permanent enemy.
This is why it's important to understand antisemitism and how to fight it. It's especially important now because the apparatus of violence in Israel is itself a tool of global fascism, and we finally have an opportunity to dismantle the whole thing. But we have to be aware of how fascists can pivot around to block this.
I've been reading Safety Through Solidarity, and I think it's especially relevant at this time.

People who are not anti-capitalist sometimes wonder: "Why is there a monopoly on X life-critical thing?" (E.g., epipens, insulin, web search).
This one is really simple actually: because monopolies are more profitable than competition, and the foundation of capitalism is that capital = power.
Various societies have recognized the necropolitical outcomes of monopolies and have tried to erect barriers to monopoly; we all know that monopolies are bad, death-and-suffering-causing things. But since these societies mostly remain capitalist, they allow these barriers to be eroded by the power of capital (to do otherwise would be to repudiate capitalism because it puts a limit on the power of money). The barriers are ineffective, and the capital = power equation holds, and monopolies result and get to do their killing & maiming thing (remember: even things like social media monopolies that you wouldn't expect to pay for political assassinations like a mining company still profit from inciting genocides). *Sometimes* there are oligopolies instead of monopolies, but instances of really competitive markets are pretty rare for things that are widely sought-after.
The "government will manage the markets to prevent bad outcomes like monopolies" strategy has failed repeatedly, spectacularly, and almost universally. To actually prevent monopolies you need a population that no longer believes that money should equal power, it's that simple. Sadly, it's actually not that simple, since all of the alternatives which equate something else to power, like "the king" or "party loyalty as judged by the supreme leader" have the same problems or worse. The attitude you need to cultivate is "nobody should have power," which is hard because *all* of the power-systems we have constantly propagandize against this attitude in myriad ways. Still, in the future once we've broken free of this age where hierarchy is accepted, people will look back and wonder whether the historical records are even credible given how much needless death and suffering were endured with little resistance.

Everyone is anti capitalist until it’s the capitalist thing they like

For half a century, psychedelics largely belonged to the cultural left: anti-war, anti-capitalist, suspicious of the church and state. Now, one of the most politically consequential psychedelic drugs in the US – ibogaine – is being championed by evangelical Christians, Republican governors, military veterans, and big tech billionaires.

We all know Trumpism is an illusion, a facade, a game. His cult is breaking down as they continue to be confronted with the ever widening divergence between their perceived reality and his claims. I feel as though Dawn of Everything provides a useful lens through which to both understand this and to dismantle the ritual violence this cult is carrying out. Perhaps we can even extend this to ourselves to disentangle ourselves from the cultish elements of capitalist modernity.
Authoritarianism itself is ultimately a complex illusion, thus this analysis, the recognition and dismantling of illusion, should inform all elements of those who wish to express anti-authoritarian resistance.
