Capitalism as a System of Abuse
Capitalism is not freedom. It is not opportunity.
It is a cage with invisible bars — a system where the price of survival rises faster than your ability to keep up. Your labor is extracted. Your time is stolen. Your body is broken, sold, and discarded when it stops producing.
It doesn’t care about you. It doesn’t even see you.
It sees margins. It sees costs. It sees whether you're profitable or obsolete.
This system isn’t broken — it’s working exactly as designed.
It’s not personal.
It’s structural.
And it would rather kill you than take care of you.
Violence Disguised as Business
Once you see capitalism as a system of abuse, you start to recognize its weapons — not guns or batons, but bills, balances, and debt.
They don’t shoot you in the streets — they just bill you until you die.
Wages haven’t kept up with rent in decades. Healthcare costs more than your car. You’re drowning in debt for an education that was supposed to save you.
You’re told it’s your fault.
But it’s not. This is by design.
CEOs offshore your job and get a bonus. Landlords raise rent and call it “the market.” Insurers deny coverage and call it “policy.”
This is violence. It doesn’t need blood to be deadly — it just needs their weapon of compliance.
Retirement? That dream is vanishing. People are working longer, retiring later, and doing it with less and less. Pensions are gone. 401(k)s are gambles. Social Security is under siege. If capitalism has its way, retirement will be a relic.
You’ll work your entire life to feed an empire — and die with nothing.
They don’t need to hold a gun.
They already hold everything you own.
Including your life.
And they get to decide whether you live with dignity — or die trying to afford it.
Boycotts That Drew Blood
But sometimes, the abused push back.
In the past few years, mass boycotts, subscription cancellations, and collective refusal have put real cracks in corporate armor. You've seen the headlines — major companies stumbling, reputations in free fall, business models collapsing under the weight of public backlash.
You know who they are.
You’ve seen the backlash. You’ve seen the power people hold over corporations when we band together and demand “NO.”
Public image collapsed. Profits plummeted. Stocks crashed. Executives panicked.
These weren’t just boycotts.
These were economic strikes.
Not just corrections — revolutions.
When enough people say no, things break.
And the people who rule us?
They fear when the system breaks.
Because that is the only thing that truly scares them.
Let’s Speak the Elite’s Language
So if the system bleeds when we withhold — what happens when we aim to wound?
When the architects of our suffering are made to feel the fear we live with daily?
That’s a financial revolt. That’s economic violence.
And finance is the only language the elite understand.
When they lobby against healthcare.
When they bankroll climate collapse.
When they bet on your eviction, your sickness, your desperation —
so they can buy what’s left of your life as you die.
They are committing acts of violence against you.
They are economic warlords.
But we hold the one weapon they fear most — our dollar.
Bleed them where it counts.
In the boardroom.
In the stock ticker.
In the quarterly report.
Make their brands radioactive.
Make their profits disappear.
Make their names rot in the mouth of the market.
You want to scare them?
Stop buying.
Work the bare minimum.
Withdraw your consent.
Starve the empire.
This is not protest.
This is economic warfare.
And it’s long overdue.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
— John F. Kennedy
Financial Freezing and Cooperative Revolt
Retaliation is just the beginning.
Liberation comes next.
Starve the machine.
Withdraw your money. Cancel what you can. Cut ties.
Grow food. Share tools. Start local. Build together.
Form worker-owned co-ops. Join mutual aid networks. Trade outside their systems.
They can't dominate what they can't touch.
Every purchase you deny them is a brick pulled from the wall.
Every act of refusal is a spark.
Every time you help a neighbor instead of a corporation, you break their grip.
You are not helpless.
You are not alone.
They stole your future.
It’s time to take it back.
Share this. Spread this. Organize. Act.
Because if we don’t take it back now,
we may never get the chance again.
