It’s time to go explore the fog world. Float into that cool wet curtain and find what one could only imagine to be a mystical dreamy dream land πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ˜† I know it’s the Pacific Ocean on the other side, which is dreamy and magical in itself.

I hope you all have the day you wish for ☁️🌊🩡

Atlas, a mostly black pit bull/husky/german shepherd mix, stands underneath a hydrangea bush that's drying up in the autumn. One of the blossoms is right above his head, like a flower crown. He's camera shy, and looking a little tentatively at the camera.

"In the case of slave mode of production, 
the exploiters directly own the primary 
producers; in feudalism, both have complex 
relations to the land, but the lords use direct 
jural-political means to extract a surplus; in 
capitalism, the exploiters own the means of 
production and the primary producers are 
thus reduced to selling their labor power. 
The state, in each case, is essentially an 
apparatus of coercion that backs up these 
property rights by force."

Modern capitalism has more in common with Feudalism and the oldstyle slave-system than most people realize.
