    I see where youre coming from but the answer to Capitalism is not "let's go back to the woods" OP

    That's not the point im trying to make

    I'm saying all the tools and resources we need to live in the beauty of the earth is right there but its locked away behind the false shield of poverty

    Do you see monkeys and squirrels and s*** living ghettos and slums?

    However, imperialism and capitalism launched this to new heights.

    There is no reason why someone should starve today. We have the greatest technology and agriculture techniques: don't you think there has to be other forces at play? :elon:

    Like why was Africa, the continent containing the most advanced civilizations for thousands of years, suddenly stunted and then NEVER able to recover :elon:

    Brain drain, corrupt officials, and most of all economic imperialism from western powers is the reason why poverty consists today. Economic imperialism is rooted within Capitalism, because it is the logic of capital to expand to new, unused markets.

    To remove imperialism you need Communism to ultimately remove the profit model.

    I dont think you realize how hard it is to actually live off the land

    If its so easy whats the point of all this

    we still live off the land though?

    we have more than enough food by thousands of tons per year to feed every person on earth and more than enough natural resources to do it sustainably

    Most animals struggle out of the grips of death every single day

    They live their life according to how much food they can eat and how much they can avoid being eaten

    Sounds just like humans.. except we're trying to avoid being eaten by life itself.

    obviously hes not implying that

    theres plenty of land and resources to sustain everyone on Earth

    but its owned by capitalists aka the ultra small minority

    scarcity is artificial

    maybe you shouldn't base society around profit and individual greed
