#resist (the temptation to splurge when designer yoga pants go on sale)
Words don’t mean anything, any leftist language short of guillotine and gulag will be immediately co-opted. Revolution is when reform, decolonization is a liberal buzzword now, resistance is when the world’s most painfully unfunny show EPICLY OWNS ORANGE MAN DRUMPF. Socialism is when fire department, capitalism is when you buy things.

Take a guillotine to those prices and save, then show off those gams to fellow joggers at Central Park!
Gulag, though? Might need help with that one…
“Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.”
Mainstreaming opposition to capitalism as explicit opposition to capitalism is generally good, even if the source doesn’t have any worthwhile aims. It’s easier to bring someone left if they start off conscious of capitalism and with a negative opinion of it. Contrast that with people who will defend capitalism without even knowing it, and who will say “but capitalism is the greatest driver of prosperity and freedom and sunshine and rainbows ever” if you even get to the point where you can discuss it directly.
