    Argument 1: you put oil in your car which means you need us.

    Personally, I wouldn’t say that capitalists are any ‘eviler’ for abusing us than wolves are for attacking bears… it’s not that wolves are motivated by ideology, sadism, or even a belief that they’re doing a service for wolfkind and will ascend to Doggy Heaven for attacking bears. They just care about surviving, and that’s something that they do to survive. Since that conflicts with bears’ own will to survive, naturally they fight back.

    I apply the same perspective to capitalists: it’s not that they’re ‘evil’ (or ‘good’), it’s just that their struggle to survive conflicts with our own, so naturally I resist, because I also want to survive. I don’t need to look at the matter through highly subjective terms to understand or acknowledge its occurrence.

    To put it another way, I don’t give a shit about them any more than they do about me.

      Capitalism opress people because it is simply how it works. This of course don’t in any way absolves capitalists. However, as Marx noted, capitalism also develops in the direction of actually making direct capitalists unnecessary, they are increasingly replaced by the shareholders, and long chains of various other forms of ownership and thus even the capital owners are getting alienated, making it almost impossible for anyone entertaining the liberal notion of “justice” to make any connection for responsibility. Everything is moved into the banality of evil cathegory, and it’s not surprising that people without marxist understanding see all of this as just force of nature and thus “invisible hands”.

      Seriously, it’s a cult regressing to the good old “god’s will” every time to defend the owners.
