: I've been following the messages on this fantastic site nearly since it started and what is apparent to me is how rational, humourous, intelligent and down right cool the people, who are obviously anti-capitalist, are.: While we are not exactly united in what we want to replace capitalism with (I'm with the socialists), since we are engaging in the kind of discussion as described above, the democracy we need to construct to accomplish the next system on our evolutionary path is in good hands.
: Having said that, on the whole, the pro-capitalists seem to be speaking on what THEY know and how their experiences fit in with their model of the world. Now isn't that interesting?
: Capitalism - everyone for themselves, thinking of themselves.
: Socialism - everyone for everyone, thinking of everyone. (well, that's what we're struggling for anyway.)
: I feel sorry for the thinking, intelligent capitalists out there trying to humanise "their" system - you are virtually alone.
: Lastly, at the ripe young age of 25, I discovered activism. Suddenly I feel useful and have no time for boredom. Sort of what we want from life in terms of work wouldn't you say?
: andy, activist.

I'm with you, Comrade Andy. We socialists have got to stick together and unite--through democratic means. That's why I too love this web site--it gives everyone a chance to speak their minds, and then gives others the oppurtunity to disaree agreeably. I think that if all the anti-capitalists would try to reach common ground and unite, we'd have a better chance at overthrowing capitalism--for good. You know, every once in a while everything seems so hopeless and I just feel like this world will never change for the better. But then I read some of these comments (like yours) and I just get up all the more hope and courage to try harder. Together we can do this!!! Thank you.
Your Comrade in the Struggle says thank you!
None.
