A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Why does everyone think the only alternative to capitalism is communism?

Because of successful anti-anarchist propaganda, an overwhelming majority of Americans think anarchy means no rules whatsoever.

Because people who don't understand what words mean label every possible post-capitalist system as communism even though they're as different from each other as they are from capitalism.

Because capitalism is a communist concept to begin with. Communism invented capitalism. Communism is a direct response specifically to capitalism. One might legitimately label anything that follows from the analysis and criticism of Marx's concept of capitalism as a school of communism.

Whether you believe in it or not, it's like being shocked that all the treatments for vertebral subluxation are chiropractic.
