@LucyStag Why are you pro-market? Clearly the market isn't pro you. The situation you describe is -exactly- what inspired me to invent #anagorism.
@LucyStag @nonserviammedia Like anything good, "cui bono" applies. The market is the only true meritocracy, assuming salesmanship equals merit. It's the only accurate reflection of the will of the people, assuming one-dollar-one-vote. The market is good in the sense that it works, which is better than most things. Market anarchism (i.e. anarcho-capitalism) is good, if more "realistic" solutions are held to be "better." Being more "realistic," it is probably also a more near-term goal to toy with. I think of the "good" life as starting (if we're lucky) maybe 100 generations from now. #anagorism
Under #capitalism a meadow's only value comes from the exploitation of that land. Under capitalism a river's only value comes from exploitation of the water. Under capitalism a tree only has value when planted (regardless of whether it's done so appropriately) or harvested.
Capitalism is dependent upon exploitation because the root of capitalism lies in the arbitrage of exploitation.

@RL_Dane @cobra @alcinnz @dheadshot tbh the necessity of self-marketing is what turned me against not only #capitalism, but #market economics in general.

@LeoSammallahti @mpjgregoire @dajb This troubles me as at least one reason I would be drawn to a cooperative effort is as much "exit from #entrepreneurship" as "exit to community." If risk tolerance, ambition, and apparently self-interest are necessary qualities in the ability to found a co-op, then why bother? #anagorism
Healthcare should be a human right.
Shelter should be a human right.
Food and water should be human rights.
Warmth should be a human right.
Light and darkness should be human rights.

Basis Project seems to have goals very similar to #anagorism. https://basisproject.net/
Mario and Luigi get it.
POST-CAPITALISM: A Detailed Look at How It Could Work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuC7Qmk7TfA #anagorism
An economic system incentivizing boiling the planet over saving it stacks the cards too far against being able to fix itself in time. At some point this ceases to be an economic system, becoming a religion that will sacrifice us all on behalf of those who paid the priests to be buried closest to the altar.
1. I knew someone would ask me to provide examples of the inefficiencies of capitalism after yesterday's toot. It's a 5 minute google, but for people new to the concept of capitalism being really very inefficient at distributing goods, here's a thread with examples.

The biggest lie those in power will tell you is "there isn't enough to just give things to people". We have enough to throw away tons of perfectly fine food every day, more empty housing than homeless people, and ludicrous volumes of perfectly good clothing, white goods and electronics going to landfill.
The problem isn't production, it's profit getting in the way of distribution.
