       The more things I read about "the dark ages" the more radicalized I become. Like hey, did you know that slavery was abolished in Europe during the dark ages and in order for the merchant class to justify bringing it back they had to invent racism, thus kicking off colonialism?

       Did you know that the transition from peasant life to wage labor was considered so obviously and immediately unpleasant and undesirable that it could only be enacted at gunpoint?

       The standard demands for a peasant revolt for thousands of years of human history have been: erase all debts, destroy the records of their existence, and redistribute the land. Did you know that when you say "tax the rich" that you're asking for something half-assed and moderate in the grand scheme of history?

       So much more becomes politically possible when you don't start from the premise that obviously you're so much better than those filthy peasants. Instead you can engage in intersectional solidarity not only across space and culture but also forward and backwards in time. As Walter Benjamin said: if the enemy wins not even the dead will be safe. We have tasted victory before and we will taste it again.

       @tad erase all debts, destroy the records, redistribute the land. kill the rich if they fight back and use their bodies for compost. end landlordism, transfer businesses to worker ownership, start renewable energy cooperatives, turn every lawn and every golf course into community gardens and teach permaculture principles to whoever wants to maintain them.

       @clarity @tad Every corporation needs to be shuttered dismantled, and its assets redistributed.This is the source of their undue influence.. currently that undue influence includes their interest depriving us of everything we have worked for or could hope to have.We can make significant progress to that end by pushing corporations out of our communities. Close down and push out Walmart for instance, then make them finance investment in local businesses.

       @GhostOnTheHalfShell @clarity @tad The corporations that restrict what they may do in their articles may stay, if the purposes are specific enough.  Those "any lawful purpose" charters that permit doing anything at all in pursuit of profit have to be destroyed.  Paperclip maximizers.
