This is from Carol Nikolaisen: 

Some simple definitions:

Capitalism; The use of inherited/stolen Capital to accumulate private wealth.
Venture Capitalism; The risk of Other People's money to accumulate private wealth
Consume; to consume, as a flame, to eat, To Utterly Destroy.

There is a lie being told by the world's "economists", this the lie that we are all capitalists in a capitalist economy. The truth is that although the mass of the worlds population lives alongside the capitalist economy they do not actively benefit from capitalism except in a subsistence, working poor, wage slave kind of manner. These people have no Capital and no access to Venture Capital. The bulk of the world's population does not profit from any form of Capitalist enterprise. As well these people are unable to be consumers except at the very subsistence levels of existence. They buy little to no commodities, chose daily between meals and housing. Work for desperation wages while producing all the capitalist commodities, but being denied any of the benefits of said production.

Even though few truly benefit from capitalism, and rampant unregulated consumerism seems "hell bent for leather" to destroy the world's ecologic balance, most people, believing they are capitalists, will die defending the virtues of this lie based, slavery based, theft based system.

Capitalism developed from the death of the "aristocratic" system, which developed from the feudal system, etc., Capitalism developed from the primitive accumulation of wealth, which is a pretty way of saying the Colonial acquisition of land and workers by the forced occupation of said land. This said Colonialism generally led to either complete oppression of indigenous people, or the intentional genocide of said people. Wealth accumulated by force and fascism.
The saddest part of this issue is that even in light of all the talk of civil or human rights the actuality is that there are only rights for the wealthy, if you have not enough money to pay legal fees and court costs you have no right to legal protection. The rights in reality are for those who can afford to pay for the lobby.

As well the thefts of the "primitive accumulation of wealth" continue to this day "legally sanctioned" as long as the "project" is profitable to the ones paying the lobby groups. People living on the very brink of existence are further impoverished daily by those who have far more wealth then they could possibly ever need or use in a billion+ lifetimes.

Be revolutionary, plant a vegetable garden, share and trade, use a Credit Union, don't feed the Capitalist economy any more then absolutely necessary. Speak up while citizens are still allowed a voice, the citizen will be silenced soon enough.
