So, I just read 2 paragraphs of theory and it’s got me wondering: is collecting Hot Wheels cars antithetical to Marxism?

It would seem that, after my reading, while saving my money ultimately removes all humanity from myself, spending my money (especially in such a manipulative and exclusivity-focused market) is also enabling the very worst of the capitalist forces I aim to stand against.

How do I win? Also: Vroooooooooooom

That’s a bit simplistic. Scalping isn’t a crime depending on what’s being sold, and just because I have a job doesn’t mean I care about other people and don’t want more money selling them something I know they desperately want.
