All of us here in this subreddit, that vast majority of the enslaved “working class” are looking for ways to truly chip away at the institutions that perpetuate and profit from our current “free market” system.
We spend far too much time hating working class republicans, small businesses, and those just trying to make a living (and yes, there is alot to hate there). We need to spend more time constructively chipping away at the financial institutions that enslave us. That's enough with my preaching.
Here are some pragmatic ways to go after the BANKS, the institutions who cause the boom-bust business cycle, the institutions who are largely responsible for Institutional Racism, I can go on and on.
Let's start by cancelling the banks. They leverage the black struggle through the BLM movement to market their bank as “black friendly” while they simultaneously discriminate through lending practices. They leverage they LBGT struggle by sponsoring pride parades all over the world. We must see through this and attack the very heart of the system. Identity Politics will always serve the banks, regardless of their validity. They have been co-opted.
A few ideas:
-
First and foremost, if possible remove all savings and all business from any major banking institution and open corresponding accounts with local banks and credit unions
-
Create #CancelMandTbank #CancelChase #CancelJP Morgan campaigns on twitter- there are a wealth of reports and articles on past and recent racist misdoings by major financial institutions. If any antiwork individuals have prominent Twitter accounts this would be a wonderful cause to illuminate.
-
Many banks lose money on small account holders do to the cost of their transactions. Maximize all transactions available each month, even if that means simply zelling 1 dollar to another account.
-
Lastly, and this is very difficult for some if not all of us. Avoid credit cards, loans, etc. Obviously this is not possible in its entirety. Live entirely within your means and avoid corporate and globalized goods and services.
In conclusion, corporations are the enemy, and the major financial institutions are the final boss. Let's do everything we can to turn public opinion against them. Saying we are unwilling to work is not really what we are about. We are unwilling to work in this soulless, financialized, global gestapo.
Occupy Wallstreet was disarmed and de-fanged by the identity politics movement, we must turn the tables and use the identity politics movement to bring down the financial institutions that have turned us into serfs.
Best of luck to all of those struggling under the thumb of the greed financial syndicate
