This post is especially for those people (like me) who really don't like the fact that they live in a society based on capitalism. I find myself thinking from time to time that I'm not a capitalist and I have to pause and reflect on my thoughts. As Eugene says, the working class are all capitalists. Every person working for money in a capitalistic system is a supporter of capitalism, "and this is always and everywhere the capitalist class." This leaves us with the question: If by participating in capitalism we are all capitalists, then what do we do? How do we stop being capitalists? I've spent so much of my time thinking about this question and realizing that the only way to get out of this viscous cycle is to REALLY get out of it. And by that, I really mean "getting out of it". Become a gypsy, live in a remote part of a forest, get a farm going someplace. I don't know. Getting out is hard because our society makes it hard. To be an individual, you have to be willing to go all the way.
