"The economic system founded on isolation is a circular production of isolation. The technology is based on isolation, and the technical process isolates in turn. From the automobile to television, all the goods selected by the spectacular system are also its weapons for a constant reinforcement of the conditions of isolation of “lonely crowds.” The spectacle constantly rediscovers its own assumptions more concretely."

Direct result of capitalism: Around 3 million children died before their fifth birthday due to starvation and malnutrition while half the world’s food rotted.

My favorite Election Day message: “Regardless of who you vote for, vote.”
From what I’ve seen, this notion is spread by only the most sophisticated liberals. Implicit in the statement is the recognition that elections are inescapably useless, so what matters is not who you vote for but the investment in the bourgeois system. If they really believed elections mattered, they would say, “GO VOTE—unless of course you support the person who will bring down Hell on this country!” Realizing instead that both wings of the capitalist party will do this easily enough, they simply ask for the ritual to be performed—a religious ritual that embodies faith better than most actual religious practices.
(Oh and I did vote, by the way, for reasons similar to those basedlibido mentions.)

This would be a great moment to encourage all comrades to check out the Hands Off Venezuela campaign.

"Is having children a cause of poverty? Absolutely not. Poverty in capitalism is due to the organization of the way work and production are done. If everyone lived a life of pure personal austerity like monks in their cells, there would necessarily be a tendency for capitalists to drive wages down further in order to create a pool of willing laborers. The high end of what workers make under capitalism depends on how much we have and are able to fight for a bigger share of the wealth we create, the low end is determined by what it takes to basically ensure that we can maintain ourselves and come back to work the next day with a reasonable level of productive energy - so if we all lived like monks, then we’d all have a vow of poverty forced on us."

"I am going to fight capitalism even if it kills me. It is wrong that people like you should be comfortable and well fed while all around you people are starving."
