Quote reblogged from bricolage with 270 notes

Coming back to capitalism is like walking into a brick wall. It’s like being hurled into the middle ages. It’s like returning from the future to a place where everyone thinks it was just a dream you had and you say, “No really, I was in a country without advertising, where all the doctors are free and anyone who wants to can go to graduate school without going into debt, and people say ‘we’ a lot more than they say ‘I,’” and you keep feeling like you’re talking in a language no-one understands. Coming back to capitalism after three months out from under is like walking into a horror movie. In this country, my neighbor can spray pesticides in his back yard and even if it gives me seizures, the right to private property overrules my right to health, and the worst thing is that it seems self-evident to him that it should be so. In this country my last ambulance ride costs twice as much as my rent.
