    i know the system works

    It provably does not. I thought we agreed that it does not

    because it used to

    It didn’t. That was colonial extraction, internal exploitation of women+poc, and compromising with communism while we still had a labor movememt and the threat of the ussr. It was an intermediate form forced on it by circumstance, it’s not sustainable, youre ignoring all the costs, and the system’s own incentives are what destroyed it. What will always destroy it. The metagame is broken, there is no going back.

    And with global warming/climatepocalypse; we need to be doing better than that imagined bullshit rough-edges-sanded-off version of the 1950s anyway. which we can; why are you so hostile to the idea? Why are you so in love with your chains?

    We could and should do do much better. We could distribute things and coordinate in muvh better ways. This shit collapses every few Years, why not give it a shot?
