It doesn’t, and that’s a good point. A lot of supposed “leftists” are really just sitting around waiting for it to happen, without realizing it takes all of us joining an org and doing some shit about the injustice around us.
Joining an org was not what I meant, even though it’s definitely a good thing, and I agree.
My point was more about, yes, indie artists deserve to eat, but paying them in a capitalistic fashion, likely through a payment processor, a subscription/donation platform, and whatever other intermediaries, might be a “feel-good” sentiment, but if you’re serious about demolishing the system, should not be done.
One might argue that the system does not get demolished as long as it works.

Oh! I completely missed your point. Yes, use cash or barter, certainly don’t continue to promote capitalist hegemony.
