You cant boycott when youre poor. You buy what is cheapest. Defeating capitalism is a must if we are to ensure our survival on this planet

@Toasty capitalism is great at creating wealth. In order to have socialism one must first have capitalism. That wasnt the case for russia, korea ect.

@Platoscave the countries that have attempted socialism have always ended up worst off and/or dictatorships?

@Platoscave the poor cannot do it. The poor make up the majority of this planet. We must give them the material wealth necessary to make the change

@Toasty Venezuela nationalized their oil and used it to subsidize welfare programs. Oil prices then fell around 2014 and the u.s. embargoed their oil. Now they can't subsidize shit. That is not socialism. Mexico did the same thing but i dont see you calling them socialists. The conservative government of Iran did the same in the 50s. Socialism is when the people or community own the workplace together. Nationalizing industries is not socialist unless they are given to the people for control
