"At no point in the process does the capitalist investor actually make or do anything; they do not construct actual machinery out of piles of money. Their property right consists entirely of a legal right to allocate the physical products of labor, enabling them to preempt the avenues by which the social labor of multiple groups of workers acting on nature can be coordinated."

In 2018, Saheed Vassell, known and loved by his Crown Heights neighbors, was killed by the police while holding a metal pipe. Officers’ cameras were not turned on. Vassell’s aunt was quoted at the time, saying “I bet if he was a white kid, they wouldn’t fire a shot at him like that.”

the text reads "the long revolution means that we have to build a parallel society which can counter the dominant system until such time as it is strong enough to replace it." beneath the text there is a picture of a rose bisected by the red and black anarcho-communist colors.

Everyone on the left should read this article https://c4ss.org/content/60363 it gives a critique of capitalism built up from ideas of complex systems, flexibility, efficiency, limited information, etc. A very different flavor than Marxist critique.

or if not the whole article, skip to the part with the heading "A Long Overdue and Distinctly Anarchist Assessment of Capitalism"

Center for a Stateless SocietyWe Don’t Agree on CapitalismNot a Good Century for Thinking One curious thing about the history of anarchism and Marxism is despite the long history of rivalry and conflict between our respective traditions, there’s an implicit acceptance of Marx by many anarchists.

"Not Black Power, Not White Power, But Worker's Power!"

There was once a time when I would agree with this, but now I don't. In America, white people as a race already have power. Black people don't. "Black Power" is a slogan in reaction to black people's lack of power. In order to have worker's power in America, you need Black Power, Native Power, etc.

Person 1: "Capitalism is better because communism only looks good in theory"

Person 2: "My brother in christ, capitalism doesn't even look good in theory."
