The liberty he believes in is the one the one-way ratcheting mechanism of individual liberty, for the most powerful individuals that is. And he'd be right in a liberal democracy because part of liberalism is a belief in…
This is why ideology is so important. Is the end user viewed as an ISPs client? a consumer of tech companies? The idealistic language is fine but isnt based on any scientific approach to society. Its neutral at best.…
Damn, so pretentious. I agree with many things, in particular his sentiment about styles and "rules", but his demeanor is uninspiring. He doesnt provide much clarity around good writing and just comes off as…
Took the south Florida brightline 3 times, recently, to get to the airport (+2 times for leisure travel) and it was pretty good. Get there by rideshare in 20 mins, trains on time, 1hr to city, 10 min shuttle to airport.…
Monopoly capitalism and finance capitalism took reigns of markets more than a century ago. The state serves these huge interests. Everybody knows AI firms pirated to train, nothing will come of it. A plain example of…
Faking sincerity is hard and being sincere gets you fired.
The reason cleaning toilets in america is not that bad is because of socialist and communist labor organizing. Go to Ecuador to clean toilets and you'll see what capitalism does to workers.
Comment OP here. The third way is just capitalism with extra "were different" rhetoric. Remember capitalism isnt a vibe its the private control of production for profit. All "third way" people are just capitalists with…
Do you really understand class war? Your suggestion is having the state legislate this away as if the state isn't fully compromised by the capitalist class? This is the main lesson of the 20th century that liberals…
Tangentially, this is also the reason why many forms of corruption can be done away with right now with modern technology. Meaning that democratizing our existing political structures is a reality today and can be done…
The only way to curb something like that is more democratization. Fraud is a common problem in any system anywhere. A reputation score on top would help, only if it can be kept democratically controlled. There is no…
It's the tax-payer funded business model, the NGO trap. Subsidies, grants, tax-breaks, credit, deductions, exemptions, etc. A whole class of profiteers live in this sector. Even though academia funding isn't strictly…
Almost as if capitalism makes everything into a market, and the profits make it self sustaining. How many will see the connections between this and our capitalist mode of production? Probably few since modern lit/news…
Everybody hates capitalism, but no one understands that they do. What you promote as a solution is simply a pebble on the path of the people who want to capitalize. There are 3 realistic scenarios for your proposed…
Right, nothing can, but it is harder to corrupt when the state isn't a handful of people with shields of bureaucracy where access to power can only be attained by the richest individuals in that society. Communism isn't…
I believe I have a somewhat unique perspective on this as a communist. Capitalist governments, even theocratic ones, are trash for the working class. That would explain those previous protests. Corruption is a totally…
Many are protesting because of the sanctions, considered war crimes, imposed by the west onto them. The US and its allies have attacked the currency and the availability of goods for the common Iranian. This is how…
Yeah, dude thanks for the good faith. A lot of people are allergic to this rhetoric and will just assume I have a deep irrational bias, but I was actually a staunch free market supporter before. Once I decided to be…
They have the incentive to never chose this. If we force it upon them by begging politicians, corporations still have the incentive to find a way to remove it or circumvent it. Youre playing the cat and mouse game…
> Aren't the politicians or their appointed bureaucrats who'd be making all the decisions if these needs were government owned? Well that would be true under a capitalist government. > Why would state control lead to…
Meanwhile the NSA and Mossad can see you fapping on your phone and scan your face in real time and you're implicitly fine with it This is what lack of options does to a MF
The infrastructure is still there. It's the infrastructure that's the problem, the marketing is kind of whatever... Ring has been a problem and it has only gotten worse now.
Capitalist profit motive strikes again. The invisible hand expands tech and the visible hand keeps making tech worse. People usually respond to this by saying that it would be absurd to suggest the company did this for…
I think you may be very shocked when you find out that you are wrong. Fascism was an ideology developed by capitalist industrialists, specifically steel trusts in Germany. But had its birth amongst financiers in Italy.…
The full term is private property over the means of production. The family farm would only fall into that category if youre employing others for profit. If you're working yourself on it, there is no real social function…
