Forgive my ignorance. But what does the Black Flag reference mean?
What is your argument against capitalism?
Maybe I define it too simply or loosely. But to me capitalism is just simply voluntary trading. Trading my time and skill for stuff I need. Or a piece of paper which I can trade for stuff I need.
If you are decrying the corruption, the waste, the consumerism, the programming the usury and the like. I join you. My dream is a demanding public that insists, by means of choosing where they spend their money, on companies being transparent, socially conscious and environmentally responsible. The only way that is going to happen is if people understand that they, because of their numbers have the power to insist upon it.
I don't really have any hope that the masses of people will wake up and insist that businesses behave. But that's probably a lot more likely than that they wake up and understand that they don't need rulers.
But what are you suggesting is the solution?
