Have you ever met, or even been made aware of, an anti-capitalist who walks the walk? No luxuries except those made by hand, no corporate goods, certainly nothing produced in Hollywood, buying strictly local, etc?
Personally I have not. In fact, it seems that the more anti-capitalist someone is, the greater percentage of their money goes directly to Global Domination Incorporated for useless Chinese tat and/or status symbols. Very strange.
Why would they ever walk the walk? Their entire philosophy is a lie on every regard, and it's adherents are comfortable hypocrites.
This is extremely true, and people on the right simply do not understand the fundamental issue.
"Principled Leftists" are simply Useful Idiots that the Left will march into machine guns.
Leftists are only concerned with power, their establishment of principles (as far as they are concerned) can only be done once they've achieved total victory. And all actions are justified in getting to utopia.
This is why no one has murdered more Communists than Communists, and why Leftists invented a term for actually doing the shit they believe in on occasion: "praxis"
I hope you mean the hand of the Glorious People's Government, because private ownership is theft!
That’s the cool thing about Utopian Fantasy! Every time it was ever tried before, it was actually just fascism!
