How will I get started on overthrowing capitalism?
Edited on Sat Jun-13-09 10:13 PM by LuckyTheDog
I told my wife that if I go an entire year without a full-time job (temp work and freelance projects don't count), then I am going to stop looking for a real job and devote myself to overthrowing the capitalist system.

Now, if I start a project, I certainly like to see it through and do it well. So... assuming I am called on to actually make good on this "threat," what is your best advice? How could I get started?

Keep in mind that I have no stomach for violence and no money to speak of.

2. Buy a Che Guevarra t-shirt
That way you can identify all your subversive sympaticos and they can identify you.

3. You'll need a copy of the Communist Manifesto
Also, grow a big, bushy beard and start smoking huge cigars.

5. First you will need a viable alternative
If one were well meaning as well as revolutionary, you might try to find one that takes greed and the variability human nature into account.

Let them know you're serious.

Note: I wouldn't. But then, I'm not sure you're being serious in your OP either (this is the Lounge and not GD...)

8. Become the CEO of a large national bank
That is the surest way to do it.
