No one here claims to be a revolutionary. We are an instance for memes and theory, we don't even do organising like a union or a communist party, and we are certainly not a revolutionary cell.
The "stop participating" argument is the most worn card in the deck of the anti-communist debater. Participation in the system is not like seal fur or tropical woods, you cannot live your life in a way that avoids it. Capitalism's total commodification of basic human rights means you cannot even obtain food and shelter or receive life-saving care without taking part in it. Telling someone to "stop participating in the system" amounts to promoting suicide.
