I think I'm arguing with an actual child who is incapable of understanding things in terms larger than individual interactions, who literally cannot conceive of the incredible political authority afforded to the capitalist class which, consequently, affords their "individual" actions (which tend to have extreme class solidarity, lol) an inordinate amount of influence over our society, to the point where your mention of "individual responsibility" really comes off as an ignorant fucking child wanking off and thinking they're smart and special jagoff

you're a liberal despite your anarcho-jacketing so I know you worship authority figures, so here's albert einstein with Baby's First Theory explaining how capitalism is inherently authoritarian:

Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

Albert Einstein, Why Socialism

anyway go off about how individual responsibility matters more than an economic system which allows a single individual to literally own your entire fucking state! hope you read a fucking book in your entire life that isn't harry potter
