It would reduce our relative advantage. It would be worse than war. These are the people we're dealing with. This is not rhetoric. Understand these truths and while each new affront will nauseate you, it will not sidetrack your activism.
Capitalism is theft.
It is also brutality, corruption, lying, cheating, killing, all coupled to an almost infinite capacity for egoism.

Don't let capitalism destroy your will to resist.
