Not if you refuse to work. You’re only part of the system if you associate with it and think yourself part of it. I’m a NEET, I’m not part of muh reserve army. I’m going off the grid soon. Stay a slave
Maybe they shouldn’t be dependent on the system and go off the grid

Don't be surprised if you get the wall when the revolution comes.
Yep. You get the wall.
-nice individualism. How many can get "off the grid" without leeching in some form of industrial society?
Wow, so you’ll kill me if I refuse to take part in your giant industrial machine?
Typical urbanite mentality. The consumer lifestyle and ever increasing prosperity is as bourgie as fuck and damaging for the planet. Lumpen pride, worldwide. Don’t bitch about exploitation and muh capitalists when you can disconnect yourself from the system at any time. Starve it. Porky is scum, therefore refuse to deal with him
Lmao
Cope. You can become 99% self-sufficient if you try hard enough and have the will.
Literally nobody cares if you move innawoods and actually manage to feed yourself but that's gonna be hard work though. You'll affect nothing, however, and capitalism will continue to wreck the planet. Thinking you can opt out of capitalism on any scale larger than a small collection of individuals is fucking idealism.
I think you're just turning to some vulgar pseudo-leftism to justify your neet-dom.
Genuinely living out in the woods somewhere isn't being a lumpen. You aren't going to do that though. Be honest to yourself. At most you'll have a big LARP about it.
As is the idea that it can be fixed by everyone "going off the grid." Pure bourgie ideology.
You can't. Homesteading is a capitalist consumer identity. They tell you you can escape buying products just to sell you more products. It's absolutely typical of late capitalism.
And even if you belong to the 0.01% of homesteaders that actually manage it, the lifestyle is utterly non-scalable. It'd be a disaster if everyone tried to live like that. You're just a reactionary hippie with no actual solutions.
