Directing our policies and desires towards the state prevents change and recreates oppression, turns the case.  

Holloway, 2010 (John, Professor in the Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades of the Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla in Mexico, Crack Capitalism, 60-61)

But then what do we say of Bolivia and Venezuela? ...The creation and promotion of communal councils is at the core of this movement.

The alternative is to construct movements outside of the state and capitalism.

Refusing to engage in capital collapses it.  Impact turns are irrelevant – tragedy and oppression happen all around us and capitalism makes extinction inevitable

Holloway, 2010 (John, Professor in the Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades of the Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla in Mexico, Crack Capitalism, 3-7)

Break. We want to break. We want to break the world ...What can we do?

Confronting and challenging capitalism is a futile strategy because it is reactive by nature.  The alternative is a complete break from confrontation – instead we should channel all of our resources into building a new world outside of capitalism.  This changes the causal order of events and forces capitalism adapt to us, making the alternative successful even if it fails

Holloway, 2010 (John, Professor in the Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades of the Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla in Mexico, Crack Capitalism, 49-50)

Cracks break with the logic of capitalist society...The enemy is the social synthesis of capitalist society.
