"You serfs want to overthrow feudalism? You do realise the pitchfork you're using was made by feudalism right?"
Probably the worst argument ever.
Of course we have to use the tools produced in this stage of historical reality.
We're not going to be able to overthrow capitalism if we don't eat, yet due to the nature of capitalism we can largely speaking only eat by engaging in the capitalist economy. That is just the nature of reality.

Sure, it's not a need - but it's damn useful in today's world. I also don't need the internet, or more than one pair of shoes, or to shave or to use shampoo, or to drink a beer with my friends, or to watch movies or read books.
The answer to a shitty society is not to simply refuse to engage in it. It's to change it.
I understand your point, and it is a fine line - sure. I mean, I wouldn't use that logic to justify becoming a capitalist CEO. But the reality is that these things are "every-day" commodities of capitalist production, and to stop using them because of that fact is cutting off your nose to spite your face. The act of not buying a smartphone doesn't change the nature of global capitalism at all
