tbh rather than existing bloggers turning their tumblr into a patreon my guess is that staff is trying to entice ~influencers~ to come here and honestly that's so much worse

wildwildwasteland

i hope americans know about the unjust, unfair system that allowed them to get vaccines so early. while young and healthy ppl in the us decide which day of the week is more convinient to get a shot, the majority of the world can’t even secure vaccines for their elders.

it’s not “effort” it’s no “innovation”. its just modern imperialism.

“tolkein was such a meticulous worldbuilder, he put so much effort in he made up like six languages!!” yeah but did he work half as hard as the screenwriters of Mamma Mia 2 worked to fit “Fernando” into the script? didn’t think so

Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

tayefeth

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years

downtroddendeity

I think a lot of this comes from the fact that most people don’t know the formal definition of capitalism. We all know the word, we’ve all seen the jokes, but very few people bother to actually define it unless they’re talking about political theory and philosophy, so it’s easy to end up with the impression that Capitalism = Money Can Be Exchanged For Goods And Services.

Capitalism is the economic system where most of the means of production (i.e. everything people need to have to make the stuff that everyone wants) are owned by private individuals or corporations, who then hire people to provide the labor necessary to produce things, with the intent of selling the output at a profit. It’s the difference between “you’re a carpenter and you make a chair and you sell it” and “you’re Richard Q. Richington who owns a chair factory, and you pay people to sell the chairs you paid other people to make and then all the excess money goes back to you.” There have been Richard Q. Richingtons on and off throughout history, but that being the norm for every single industry is a pretty recent development.

And that’s why 19th century rhetoric that aims to criticise and combat capitalism is all about “seizing the means of production”. Capitalism means a ruling class that earns money primarily through ownership of means of production (i.e. other people’s labour), rather than performing labour themselves and providing a good or service.

Dismantling capitalism has never been necessarily about abolishing money, or trade, or people being paid in wages, or some goods and services being paid more than others. (One can argue that should, and some concepts like UBI are based on that, but that’s not a necessary component.)

When means of production are owned by the people doing the production, they are better able to fight for their own rights and ensure good conditions for production, and because a person can only perform so much labour, if they “only” own their own labour (rather than other people’s), there can be no obscene concentration of wealth that will allow them to advance their own interests at the expense of other people.
