How Do You Live In Capitalism?
How do you live under the capitalist system and how much to participate in it? For instance do you buy things at stores and other enterprises, do you work for private enterprises, and so on.

I live as a hippy out in the forest. No roof over my head. Living of air and love. Every commie should not participate in the capitalist system or else they are just a [FONT=Verdana]hypocrite[/FONT].
None.
I dont need to buy things when i live of air and love
Air and love is the only thing the cappies has yet to make private property of, so its free. No need to work as wage slave for a cappie to get it.
If you did not detect any sarcasm in the answers above your a remarkable stupid cappie. How can a commie not participate in the capitalistic system when the capitalist own every property. Property which all people are dependent on to make a living/survive of.

Its almost impossible to live under capitalism reasonably without sustaining it in some way. That is one of the characteristics that i find so reprehensible about it.
How the fuck did you get a computer and a wifi signal then?
i work in a buisness and i am saving money to start my own in a fews year.
i dont especially love capitalist but eh, i live in so, i do what i can to be my own boss and earn my freedom this way.
WHY kléber, WHY!!!!!!!
If you truly think the capitalist system is immoral, not just ineffective or worse but immoral wouldn't it be more moral for you to be a beggar then to hold a job?

I live in Capitalism the same way the rest of us do: I learn to deal with it. As much as I hate the system, it's still almost impossible to get away from it since they control absolutely everything.
Economic Left/Right: -9.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.15

No, because begging doesnt undermine class boundaries; it enforces them.
There are still a significant number of people who try to live an autonomous lifestyle and minimise their dependence on capitalism. You can find them in many major European cities including London, Athens, Barcelona, Amsterdam I think, and a few others. They are mainly Anarchists who squat buildings, dumpster dive and so on.
Personally, as capitalism is the dominant economic system I find it difficult to avoid boycotting completely. I do attempt to avoid unethical products and buy second hand and the like and manage rather well. It's just a personal choice and wont make much of an impact .
It won't make much of an impact because 1 - as indivuals we have no power in capitalism, and 2 - there is no clean money.
Not that I'm ragging on you, I do the same - try to avoid things that turn my stomach thinking about, even if it's harder sometimes.
We get by, as best we can, and work to overthrow the system.
Unless, like Kamerat, we are so in tune with air and love that we can persuade them to turn themselves into wifi signals. And food. Not that Kamerat needs food. Kamerat is a Revolutionary Techno-Buddha. We all aspire to love air like him, her and it (for to be Kamerat is to be all and one. With the air of love.)
I drink to escape it.

Um, no, because the immoral part is being an owner of the means of production, not buying stuff or holding a job. In fact, the people holding jobs are otherwise known as the working class - you know, that class that we expect to overthrow capitalism in a revolution.
You cannot live outside the system unless you live outside society.

Nah, just read into what the point of Marxist ideology really is and it'd save you tons of moronic questions and arguments you are now torturing us with.
But let's just keep it really simple;
It's not about morals really, it's just that relationship of explotation doesn't represent the material interests of the working class, those who work, i.e. most people around. It's that simple really and has nothing to do with concept of "morality" that in the end is pretty artificial doncha think? Of course you don't.
But I want you to understand what I'm saying so I'm going to post a little essay for people like you, with comprehension level of a child who's five bloody years old.
Exploitation for actually dumb people
by Gleb
Exploiter bad.
Exploiter exploits and creates a society based on concept of wage slavery that forces an individual to sell her labour or to be plunged into poverty or perhaps even death.
Thus, exploited is working because she has no real choice and because it's not immoral being fucked over unless you're some messed up fascist social darwinist douchebag I assume you're not. It'd be just really stupid if you weren't forced by conditions that be to do it. Forrrrccccccc'd.
Exploited not bad.
Personally, I'm a Marxist who believes that morality is essential to analyzing capitalism versus socialism. Without a moral reference there would be no way to say that there's anything unacceptable about the whole world being blown up, or fascism enslaving society. As soon as you have a preference and a goal, it's a moral position. Other kinds of judgements and decision-making criteria do exist for us, such as mathematic solutions and sensual pleasures, but they aren't applicable. To have a preference about the social outcomes -- whether you're an organizational activist or an armchair philosopher, either way -- it's a moral judgement.
So do you agree w/ Hume that moral judgments principally express our feelings?
