I think of this often, why are we not engaging in cryptoscams? We could use our understanding of chudness to scam these people outta their savings.
Most of the time crypto scams, stock trading and other practices target most of the times proletarians. The idea that by luck we can defeat capitalists with stocks is naive at best. With whole teams invested and with proper knowledge of the market, with a big chunk of assets to manipulate the direction of prices, and with both insider information and control of the media, they have all the tools to win, and we have almost none.
Sounds good, but what if we end up stealing from fellow proletarians? And those who create the scams probably do know how to avoid them.
If the money is used for the cause, why should we care if it comes from proletarians or wealthy people? The bolsheviks robbed banks at gunpoint with casualties, are we condemning them for that? It seems very pragmatic to me since they could fund their activities with that and ended up winning.
Obviously i don't advocate for it as an adventurist way to enrich oneself, but as a way to acquire funds for an organization.
Ohhh, that makes much more sense. I thought you were suggesting to bankrupt the ones who take part in crypto scams and take the money for ourselves. If it's for the party and cause, it's definitely fair game.
