Marx's theory of alienation - Wikipedia

Building Community & Alt Economies
Why Marx was Right: Alienation
When those in power scare you away from learning something or someone by turning it into a boogey-man, by causing you to fear it before you know it - then we are faced with a double edged sword.
On the one hand -
- You are absolutely being propagandized in the same way that you think "other" countries "over there" do it to their own citizens. And on the other hand:
- They are literally giving you the answers to their downfall, and that is why they are scared of it.
Capitalism is the REAL conspiracy.
So if we are to begin envisioning a new society - we need to begin learning about alternatives.
