Why do we say that capitalism must be “dismantled”?
You’ll hear phrases like “Smash the state!” “Eat the rich!” and “Smash capitalism!”
And, yes, of course, but… :)
However relevant those sayings are, our work must be careful, highly organized and above all planned.
Because capitalism and all of its associated systems are not discrete, abstracted entities we can attack independently.
It is a structure, like a complicated machine with many thousands of working parts…
And right now it is connected to absolutely everything.
If we do this… [picks up huge hammer and smashes the machine]
Then a lot of vulnerable people will die.
The machine was built and improved and redesigned and patched over the course of generations. It is very good at its intended purpose, which is ultimately to generate profit.
Every human being alive today relies on the byproducts of the machine to survive, without exception.
The machine’s engineers want it to keep working like it does. In fact, they want to optimise it.
That will kill all remaining life on Earth.
So, we must destroy the machine, quickly and carefully
We must examine its deadly programs and mechanics and replace them with alternatives we built together.
The engineers don’t want us tampering with the machine.
However, we make it run…
So we can make it STOP. Together.
How will YOU help us to safely dismantle the machine?

Young man, I was young once too. I once sang the young man’s blues Women come and women go. Get you high and get you low. One day she’s hot, the next she’s cold. Women are so seasonal. Women leave again and again. Take it from an old man
A colored sketch commission completed for someone over on instagram!
Was tasked to draw 1998 Bomba, Demeter, and Munk! The person who commissioned me needed to give a presentation at a con that talked about online safety and stalking, and it needed to incorporate a fandom they were a part of! So I got to draw this piece to help with their presentation!
It was SO FUN getting to work on Cats art again, I really (really) missed drawing these characters!
