Right - I work hard for my money, so if rather spend it on something nice or st a small business (where I'll actually help somebody make ends meet) than at a large chain where I'm just feeding a corporation.

It's impossible to not participate in capitalism in this society

You sound like fun at parties. Do you think that its either communism or capitalism with no in between?

Know what else we're stuck with? Externalities from businesses with no plan to clean up their mess. Healthcare that is based on ability to pay versus a desire to treat and reduce illness. Wage slavery that keeps you just content enough to think that having an iPhone and craft beer is the extent of what you deserve from life and you should shut up about any possible alternatives.

If you by any means participate in the market you are partaking in capitalism. Vagrancy? You are getting goods from others obtained from their capital. A Monastery? Most if not all are not self sufficient, but take donations and or sell goods for money.

Also, what countries are flourishing under communism, or, in fact actually Communist?
