    nothing works if someone shoots you as soon as you try it.
    If someone shoots you as soon as you try to drive your car, would you say “cars don’t work” or “fuck that guy shooting at me”?

      If you drive through a shooting range, would you continue do it and blame it on the shooters? Again and again too.

        You’re equating taking control of your own economy and trying to satisfy the needs of your people with something as gainless as driving through a shooting range. Socialism is a better mode of production, for more people, than Capitalism is. Remaining under the thumb of Imperialism comes with immense drawbacks, either you accept that or you work against it and draw a bigger target on your back.

        if someone declares my driveway as a shooting range, i would blame the shooters and the people declaring it.
