     @charliejane not all trade and commerce is capitalism. you’re selling your labor, not profiting from the labor of others.

     @Cyberpreppy I'm profiting from the labor of editors, copy-editors, marketing people, book cover designers, booksellers, etc etc etc

     And yeah, I recognize the irony of being like "fuck capitalism, oh and by the way, please buy my stuff." Hahahahaurk

     @charliejane I think disliking capitalism is fully compatible with both the need to participate in it to survive, as well as the general desire for the accumulation of *personal* property and comfort.

     The fact of the matter is that the pursuit of “this is mine and I derive pleasure/fulfillment from the acquisition thereof” makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. So a more effective counter to capitalism isn’t “no more money” so much as “enough money for everyone”.

     @charliejane FWIW, buying stuff precedes capitalism by probably millennia.
