My father died recently so I'll be getting some money from his life insurance. Between COVID and the specific branch of science I got an education for not having many places for employment during normal times, I've been unable to find a job and I've been living at home. If I took this money and invested it in things like insurance companies and prisons - evil corporations and industries with high profits - and then I gave most of that money to like the DSA or FNB or SRA or something like it, would that be wrong?

Lenin said the last capitalist will sell us the rope with which we hang him, so is it wrong if I "do" capitalism if I do it to support the Bolsheviks?

    Here's a dirty little secret: the most disgusting & evil capitalist practices don't actually give shareholders significantly more profit than 'regular' stocks. Your best bet for investing is to just stick all your money in an index fund and forget about it. Especially don't take it out if the market crashes, or you'll be absolutely fucked when it starts recovering.
