If Your Anti-Capitalist Praxis Involves Telling The Working Class About The Moral Superiority of Your Earthy Crunchy Organic FairTrade Lifestyle

You are 100% a servant of capitalism.  Your lifestyle is as “unethical” as any other because it is founded on the exploitation of labor, your “fair trade” ain’t that fair, your organic ain’t that green, your urban garden is probably poisoning you, and your pseudo ethical lifestyle isn’t accessible to us anyway, and if you’re telling us that that’s what resisting capitalism looks like, you’re doing capitalism a big damn favor.

this. although i fully support direct trade, sustainable food systems, and urban gardening.

I’m in favor of the abolishment of trade (fuck exchange based economies), scientifically sustainable food systems (what people who are into urban gardening consider sustainable nearly never is) and pragmatic steps to improve the availability of produce and not meaningless gestures which is what  urban gardening ultimately is
