How can I help to destroy capitalism??

By participating as little as possible in it!

Start using reusable shit like water bottles, sandwich boxes (instead of bags), etc. so you don’t constantly buy more. And if you’re someone that gets periods, get reusable pads or a diva cup!

DIY as much as you can! Learn to sew and build your own things. Soaps, clothes, simple furniture, whatever you can. A simple google search can help you get started with that, and there are many youtube tutorials that can show you too. 

Learn to fix things! Again, most of the time you can google or search on youtube fow to fix your broken things.

Start a garden! If you’ve got a front lawn or back yard being neglected, start growing some veggies so you don’t have to go grocery shopping too often!

Of course, we still have to participate in it to survive. It’s just doing the most we can by ourselves!

holy shit this is some useless liberal bullshit
literally none of these things hurt capitalism. that’s not to say they aren’t good things to do, they definitely are, but you aren’t going to destroy capitalism by changing your consumer habits. 

the main problem with the solutions @punkshitposts​ offered is that they are individualistic. personal solutions to systematic problems will never change the system and thus never make those problems disappear. don’t get me wrong, i like DIY as much as the next punk, but if we want to be a threat to capitalism, we have to work together.

some things you could do to help destroy capitalism:
– help other people so they don’t have to rely on the state to survive. for example, get involved with something like food not bombs, or organise it yourself with some friends.
– if capitalism is making the world worse around you, try to stop it. say a logging company wants to cut down a local forest? sabotage their machinery, lie down in front of the trees, occupy the forest… there’s no affordable housing in your neighbourhood? squat a house with friends and make it yourself. a big aspect of being a radical is not asking for permission (though that can still be useful sometimes).
– talk to friends, colleagues, and family about why capitalism sucks, and spread anticapitalist “propaganda”: zines, stickers, posters, graffiti…

all of these things get easier if you are involved in anticapitalist groups, and have friends/comrades who you can work together with. if you live in a place where nothing is happening and all your friends are liberals, i recommend reading this zine: https://toleratedindividuality.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/small-town-organizing-for-anarchists1.pdf
also, i’m sure i forgot a million ways you can fight capitalism, and the three categories i drew up are pretty arbitrary, so if people want to add things that would be cool.
