A friend wrote today:

"On Naked Capitalism I said that normal capitalism was very creative, like a drunken artist beating his wife in a garret. I guess I was fed up with people talking about how to repair a system which in a sense is doing exactly what it was designed to do."

I replied:

I'm with you. I think it's a shitty system, was always a shitty system, and will always be a shitty system. Its wealth is shit and it has no fucking art. I don't care what Marx says in this regard. It was always shit. If the only way human beings can conceive of equality and freedom is through the commodity form, maybe we do deserve to wipe ourselves out.

But I've thought and felt this my whole conscious life. How do you get others to see it?

I don't know.
