It feels as if capitalism was some sort of "natural" economic organization.
The mere existence of various forms of capitalism is by itself a rebuttal.
In many countries, the civil society is fighting back against the very notion that every sector of human activity should be turned into an economic matter.
Moreover, the opposition between public and private sectors is outdated. The "commons" is a much more fertile way of building a future.
Decentralization of power and means of production through cooperatives opens a whole new path to get out of the public/private fruitless debate.
All educated people should either work solo or join/create a cooperative. Capitalism will slowly recede without the executives and intermediate management, and experts of all kinds.
No revolution of the masses is needed to fight capitalism back. But the "commons" need the creative class to take responsibility and lead the society in this gradual change.
Or you can stay within the US extreme capitalism to fight alone against billionaires, chasing the American Dream that only 1% reach (and many of them just inherit) - and in reality paying your mortgage and your education back so that you're debt free when 75. ;-)
No, I think the point I was trying to make is that "Capitalism" doesn't exist, it is a made up term.
I live and work in a cooperative. It is not rosy. "Decentralization of power" means nothing gets done, everything is late, no one takes responsibility of things until one person is bullied enough to do it.
There is no "Capitalism" that you're fighting against. You are fighting against 2 things: normal human interactions, and people who exploit those interactions.
I think you should focus on fighting against people who exploit those interactions, focus your efforts.
