Let’s have another sanctimonious debate online about how “all praxis is valid,” instead of getting into gear IRL.

Do something about it IRL.

John Locke is often cited as a foundational thinker for capitalism, but what he was actually writing about was a previous economic order, mercantilism.

Mercantilism:
• Property is seen as a tool to serve the state and national wealth.
• For example, landowners, merchants, and industrialists were expected to align their property use with the state's economic strategy, such as growing cash crops for export or supporting colonial expansion.
• Economic activities were often limited to benefit the nation, with property sometimes expropriated or taxed heavily for state projects like military expansion or infrastructure.
• The state has extensive control over property rights.
• Governments can impose tariffs, quotas, or laws dictating how property is used.
• Private property can be confiscated or repurposed if deemed necessary for national interests.
• Monopolies and exclusive trade rights often limit individuals' property use or access to markets.

Capitalism:
• Property is seen as a means of individual wealth creation.
• Owners have the freedom to use their property as they choose, whether for personal enjoyment, investment, or trade.
• The focus is on individual entrepreneurship and market-driven innovation, where property is leveraged to maximize productivity and personal profits.
• The state plays a “protective” role, ensuring property rights are upheld.
• Governments enforce contracts, adjudicate disputes, and “defend against theft or fraud.”
• Property rights are inviolable, with expropriation rare and typically requiring compensation (e.g., eminent domain laws).

Joe Biden came into office promising to be the next FDR. Instead, his presidency of empty gestures and moral failures has given us something far more dangerous: a reinvigorated Donald Trump armed with a popular mandate and a drive for retribution.

Leftists across the space have made public recommittals to business as usual. They think, “if we just do it harder and better, the working-class will see the light!” But the #1 thing people need is MONEY!

Working-class servility is NOT due to lack of an education or holding incorrect values. It’s a simple problem: there’s little to nothing to fall back on if we rebel against employers. So let’s fix that. BUILD STRIKE FUNDS!

Each dues-paying organization on “the left” should be devoting some, if not most of it to a strike fund. So that work stoppages become not only desirable, but feasible in workplaces not covered or poorly supported by the traditional unions.
