This kind of thing is still contained with in the vacuum that is the internet. I'm sure it will leak out sooner than later and cause further damage to society, but until then just delete all your social media accounts and stop using 4chan. The type of people who exhibit this kind of behavior online all stutter and stammer like the retards they are if you ever confront them in a discussion IRL.

That is the reality. You can turn away from money, but we have to organize it. This hasn’t happened, hence why we’re still not free.
Yes, being raised in a different condition would result in different kinds of people. This is why Leninism etc. turned out the same peoples.

listen i hate lenin more than u do but the reality is not as simple as 'just stop doing capitalism and everything will be fine', i don't know the solution and neither do you because the solution must come from the movement of classes through history, neither of us are a class, we a merely components of a class, history has to happen and it will happen as it will, not as we will it
