“Finding fault with the concept of self-ownership and capitalist division of labor and civilization is not an argument. It is a glorified return to monkeys flinging their own feces at each other—merely a reversion to nonhuman animal life. The problem with being an opponent of capitalism is that you cannot do anything against capitalism that is any more complex than slinging your feces without becoming a capitalist. Any weapon more complex than your own feces requires delayed gratification and capital accumulation. Any weapon beyond what you can make with your bare hands requires participation in the global division of labor. The opponents of capitalism destroy their own ability to produce, specialize, and innovate, making themselves weaker and less impactful. Capitalist civilization continues to win because its opponents either fling their feces powerlessly at it, or engage in it to try to fight it, effectively supporting it and pushing it forward.”
