              Or that they understand that everyone who exploits labor, yes even your local mom and pop restaurant, is the same. Maybe if you weren’t so hung up on the top ten worst offenders you could see that too.

              Plenty of PoC exploit wage labor to get out of that 60% and into the comfy side of the imperial core. They aren’t less evil just because their evil is less successful.

                Your argument is ‘the Black woman who owns her own corner shop is as bad as elon musk’?

                I appreciate that you have voiced this opinion in opposition to mine. Thank you.

                  Yes, anyone exploiting the labor of others or seeking economic rents is a bad lesson and part of the capitalist machine.

                  I appreciate that you’ve made it very clear you’re not actually opposed to the exploitation of labor you just want the pillaged wealth distributed a little more evenly among the pillagers.

                    No honey, I just think that with limited resources, we should focus on the mass murders before the people slapping others in the face.

                    I don’t hold the view you’re trying to pin on me, nor did I “make it very clear”, but your adoption of my framing as your own is very flattering.

        It’s already racialized. About few hundred years too late to avoid that.

            In a “we need to give all power to a central authority” to prevent this, kind of way? Or a “defend your personal space yourself and lose it when you can’t” kind of way?

                I do too. I’m up to trying one that withstands power consolidation while simultaneously being able to defend itself against control systems that do consolidate power, if it looks like it might actually be able to do that.
