The answer to that one is really simple.
Are you happy with the way things are going?
Would you like more leisure time?
Do you enjoy the value your labor created being used to bomb Yemeni children?
Would you like a higher standard of living?
Would you like to never pay rent, utilities, or taxes, ever again?
It really is as simple as continuing to do the work while refusing to play the crapitalust game by buying that labor back.
Of course this means that you won't get paid for your labor, but is ordering anything you want, for free, from the web worth working for 'free'?
I think so.
If you could order anything you desire to be delivered to your door, what would you get?
I like motorcycles and corvettes, but I only need a few.
I've already put in 35 years of labor and I live in a tin shed for my troubles.
All I have is some clothes and a few things I inherited.
And still when I walk into walmart I am amazed at the number of things I just don't want.
If I could walk out with anything I wanted, I'm not sure that would be more than some tea and some sugar, maybe a pitcher to make it in, and a refrigerator to keep it cold, but really, most of that stuff is not for me anyway.
But yet I have to continue slaving in the mines if I want to eat.
You do, too.
These problems were all solved mathmatically in the early 20th century by anarchists.
Kropotkin's Conquest of Bread showed us how to live without crapitalism having impunity to kill us.
20 years before that one, Bellamy showed us how it is to be done in Looking Backwards from 1887.
He thought common sense would have led us there by now, but common sense died when it was forced to sit in a chair, shut up, and repeat after the moron at the front of the class.
Well, you have to decide for you, could you stop deciding for me while you are at it?
I did not find the exact quote, but did not Ron Paul say: "It didn't fail because we've never had any"
It is so doomed to fail that it never existed, to half paraphrase Ron Paul.
I am not expert in history so I may need a correction, but was America not closer to capitalism before the civil war?
Liberty leads to abolition of itself, where corrupt rich people bribe officials to act in their favor.
Abolish governments and get worse, and this is explained in detail in my thread about it :

Crapitalism didnt get its name until the 17th century, but it has always been with us since money first appeared.
The civil war served to bust up the easy lives the folks in the south had going.
They wouldnt pay taxes because they had a yard full of food and no need for the feds.
So, the banksters busted it up.
Well, forgive me if i stick to my guns.
It is better to die on my feet than live on my knees.

I think you are confusing socialism with capitalism. We need less socialism and more capitalism.

Alot of it was stolen when i went to jail for practicing crapitalism, albeit a prohibited form.
Folks were mad because i wasnt paying my licensing fees and was taking over the market.
Another year, or two, and i wouldve been controlling elections.
I think you are confusing crapitalism with freedom.
When we are all millionaires, because that is what crapitalism does for people, who will clean the sewers?

When we had more freedom we had more free market capitalism and our GDP was growing a lot faster along with our wealth.

The tin shed is in my buddy's backyard, he got replaced by a computer.
He worked in tv. You saw what clearchannel did to radio dj's.
More taxes on those that do work?
Or free stuff?
When things are free the bums have less excuses for not contributing.
They can go to the community center and do something that needs done.
Now there is no money to pay them.

With free market capitalism there would be more jobs and prices would be lower.
Is your buddy on the steem blockchain?
We need less taxes and less government so prices will be lower and the inflation tax will be lower.

We need to keep working and stop paying, so we can short circuit this bankster dystopia.
Half measures and reforms wont help, they will just shift tactics.

He could DJ on Dlive. I might actually watch and give him some upvotes.
I think Trump is doing Ok but it would be nice if he cut the military spending instead of increasing it.
I think we need to stop going into debt. Banks make money off loans.
We need major reforms some of which can't happen overnight. I don't think we should eliminate all of our social welfare programs instantly but we should begin to phase them out after we cut things like military spending and some unnecessary government programs.

Why wouldnt we increase our support of the people harmed the most by crapitalism's need of a military?
Every dollar spent on it is a dollar that a worker didnt get in wages.
You need to get out and meet some of those people on welfare, they are not all able to keep a job even if jobs were given freely.
Not everybody is going to be a square peg to go into your square holes.
Its easy to declare off with the stranger's head, but every one of those people are sons and daughters of somebody.
Is it their fault that they didnt gave fortunate upbringings?

People see anarchy as non-realizable utopia, but the solution to the decaying centralism are anarchist communities to create self and collective educated people by consensus, that help to spread a myriad of decentralized utopias on the blockchain.
Blockchain communal governance, operations, planning, and communications will reduce in large scale the costs that justify the need for big organizations.
Everybody is tired and dissatisfied with the wheels of industry and savage capitalism, based on artificially induced scarcity to create consumism and replace humanism.
