The way I see it that instinct is the cause behind so much suffering and injustice in the world.

I understand that it can be difficult to imagine a system other than capitalism, but such systems existed prior to capitalism, and they will exist after capitalism has ceased to exist.

Do not be angry at the crabs in the barrel, do not chastise them. That anger comes from a mirror, seeing yourself in the same system, a system that you know is destroying humanity, your humanity. Let's all instead unite and kick the barrel over.
