162. Capitalism is not a "political cause"
- at least, in theory, though our electeds have obviously made it THEIR political cause. And the only blame I laid in that post was on capitalism, not politics.

As for solutions, I don't think politics has the solution for much of anything under advanced capitalism, since the electeds are owned by the corporations.

and if you can think of a non-violent, non-authoritarian manner of altering people's behavior other than altering the social/economic/environmental paradigms that shape that behavior, I'd be interested. And I mean that, it's not snark.
