while the suggester sits back and does nothing. I guess it perpetuates the idea that Marxists are armchair philosophers, but it’s just so disingenuous.

    A revolution is probably the only way to put a stop to the countless deaths that happen daily that are directly attributable to basic needs being gatekept beyond a for-profit distribution model. Every person who dies because they can’t afford medical treatment is a victim of capitalism. Every person killed by exposure because they can’t afford shelter is likewise such a victim. They would gladly let these deaths continue on and on so long as their own hands are clean, and they can continue being good little boys and girls (the highest aspiration of every liberal) without having to change anything about their beliefs or actions or even consumption choices.

    People are already fucking dying.
