Removing Social Constructs from Capitalism
So here is the proposal I made to :
"I will make a proposal here, i will read the top three books that influenced you the most, if you spend a few hours thinking about how capitalism looks different if all the social constructs are removed."
(I have completed: Kropotkin- The Conquest of Bread, Hubbard-Science of Survival
Have yet to start: Berkman- What is Communist Anarchism)
Freeborn is not sure about what I mean by removing social constructs out of capitalism. I have included a list of social constructs, not all of them apply but it should be a good start to show what can(?) be removed.
I will leave most of the unpacking to be done in the comments. The expectation is that the comment threads will be rather long.
