Protect capitalism from capitalists
The Business Roundtable should be commended for realizing that it can’t take America’s support for capitalism for granted. It has a lot more work to do, however, starting with an acknowledgment that Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and President Donald Trump aren’t the biggest threats to capitalism. Capitalists are. Our view.Opposing view.

The state is, fundamentally, an organisation of force.
It exists because there are unequal social classes. It is used by the capitalist class to suppress workers, through protecting the means of production as the private property of capitalists.
The means of production are factories, plants, facilities, machines, and so on.
The state is used by working people to take ownership of the economy, so that the economy belongs to the people who operate it.
It does not mean persecuting workers who are self-employed.
Social ownership of production means that everyone in society has equal relations to property. This eliminates economic inequality and abolishes social class.
Without social class, there is no group to oppress, and so the state, without a function, does not function at all. The conditions that gave birth to the state would have been ended.
A stateless and classless society is referred to as ‘socialism’ or ‘communism’.
Capitalism is not freedom. Capital is a condition of freedom under capitalism.
What does that mean?
In order to have “freedom” of choice, you must have capital (wealth/property).
For example, those with capital can choose not to work.
Those without capital must find employment in order to buy food, clothes, shelter, etc. or to maintain acceptable living standards, although workers often live in poverty anyway. This means they have to sell their ability to work. The capitalist exploits the worker.
Employment does not provide workers with a wage that would allow them to accumulate enough capital to leave employment. This is a form of coercion, which holds the capitalist economy together.
In other words, the purpose of the wage is to ‘keep the labourer in bare existence as a labourer’.
This is known as ‘wage slavery’.
#1) how fragile do you have to be to find anything in that tweet “racist” against white people lmfao
#2) calling someone else pathetic when you’re just searching “white privilege” on twitter to defend white supremacists marching out in support of capitalism’s death cult haha okay buddy
