          Those systems are run by mortals. The only reason they still stand is because there are people sustaining them, and those people are replaced as they die. Starve a system of its adherents and it will perish.

            Are you proposing a general strike? Cool, I think we should go in that direction too. However, I think the general strike will be a prelude, cause, and primary factor of revolution. Why don’t you?

              Are you proposing a general strike?

              No. That would cause tremendous problems for a bunch of innocent people. The kind of change that needs to happen is one which can only happen when humanity no longer produces the kind of people who create and uphold oppressive systems. It’s not something you can do by force, whether soft or hard force. Empathy and dialectic are the very latest innovations in human evolution and are far too rare as yet, especially since that population keeps getting culled by their own families and countrymen the world over.

                That’s a lot of words to say not very much. What is your solution to overthrow the capitalist system? So far, your solution seems to be “arguing with them until they die”

                  Oh, are you a capitalist? Because I won’t argue with you until you die. I’ll just block you and go talk to someone who has a point aside from ignoring my point to make glib remarks. Ta-ta.

                    Ok, I apologize. I wasn’t willing to hear you out. What is your solution? Explain it more simply. Something about starving the system, and using dialectics to do so?
