tl;dr: One small but important thing you can do to fight capitalism in the US is to use a credit union instead of a bank.
Banks exist to make money for their shareholders. They're businesses. They literally do not care about you except as a way to make money.
Credit unions are non-profit financial cooperatives that are member owned and operated. They exist to provide financial services to their members. That is: they exist to help you.
