    Because you think we end capitalism an poof, all other problems are gone?

    Sure, can’t overcome e.g. racism without overcoming capitalism, but also can’t really have a better society without addressing the discrimination in the system.

    If some other working class member tells you about the discrimination he receives, and you make the face in the meme, you’re helping capitalists by splitting the working class.

    The fights are interwoven guys, can’t do “this first” or “that first”

    You need to address the problems (yes that means also cultural ones) and stand together in solidarity to have a chance of building a better system.

    Splitting the working class by making this face when people talk about how they are discriminated just because your not affected is only helping capitalists

      Class inequality is not the same thing as anti capitalism. I like capitalism. I see it as a vehicle for those who contribute being rewarded.

      We have classist structures outside of more things than business. Politics is the big one, but it’s nowhere near the only one. I’m for tearing down those who get power without needing to demonstrate the skill needed to wield it. Those that are given it either through nepotism or cronyism.

      I truly believe that the system doesn’t care about race or gender or whatever. It cares about looking after it’s friends. If you’re not in the club you’re trodden underfoot. So pitting black against white and man against woman is a distraction. We all need to be fighting together against the “landed gentry”.

        Okay okay okay. You talk about class inequality but say you like capitalism? What classes are you talking about?
