        Get into anarcho-syndicalism. Form and join existing anarcho-communist worker’s associations. The only sustainable way for us to end capitalism is if we start collectively associating and operating outside the framework of capitalism today.

          Exactly. No revolution occurred because everyone wished really hard it would happen but still played by the oppressor’s rules.

          Yeah, but I don’t think communism is a bulletproof solution either. Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses.

          The real issue is that people think the disparity in wealth should grow instead of shrink.

            Maybe there’s a sweet spot in between Capitalism and Communism. They are basically the 2 extremes of the political spectrum after all. Surely there’s a spot on the spectrum that embraces worker’s rights while also incentivising commercial enterprise. Checks and balances are always necessary, even in a utopia.

          I think many of the socialist states of Asia and Eastern Europe are or were ridiculously corrupt. How democratic those were is of course questionable.

            There was never socialism in Asia or Eastern Europe. At no point have the workers seized the means of production and had a dictatorship of the proletariat.

              You can apply this No True Scotsman logic to capitalism, too. Its biggest fans say True capitalism has never been tried, either.
