Do you actually know a single lefty personally who is against private property?
Even in communism you still have private property and that is on the left outher edge of left wing ideology.

I think this is a general phenomenon with leadership positions. The nature of the work creates selective pressure for sociopathic traits.

It is incredible how this ideas are demonized and misrepresented.
I repeated the same propaganda too until I accidentally discovered that some issues that bothered me for years, like the self-reinforcing rent seeking where already analyzed by Marx 150 years ago, long before it was so extremely obvious.
It's a complete rabbithole on its own

Good evening comrads
Without a doubt, you have been told that #Socialism, #Marxism and #Communism are dangerous ideas.
You also have been told what the gist of this ideas are, by the same people who told you they are dangerous.
You actually think they would tell you what the dangerous ideas are if they think they are dangerous?
Think again comrade!

Good morning comrades
If capitalism gave us the Iphone then it also took away the ownership over your devices, your computing and your music.
You can't just claim the good parts and ignore the ugly ones.
You own nothing and be happy is already a reality.
Unless you opt-out of the system and use software that was created completely outside of the profit driven world, which is the only one who protects your freedom.

How did not owning music and just renting them become normalized so fast?

Good morning comrades
No matter which economic model you prefer, we can probably all agree that Bitcoin will greatly reduce the ability to overleverage capital and greatly lessen the expansion of the divide between the working class and the rich.
I wish you all a wonderful start into the day!

Thanks for all the hard work you put into all this research. It sounds extremely painful though.

A quick reminder that we are still on track to have an abundance of basically free solar power that can cover all the energy needs in just a few years from now.
No one will buy your overprised nuclear power comrad.

Well next time I write something you know that when I say capitalism I don't mean free market and that misunderstanding can be completely avoided. :-)

You have to be interested in a lot of niche things to even understand what makes it exciting. And even explaining that would bore her out of her mind.

The problem with our discourse I think is that we don't share the same definition for the word "capitalism".
You seem to use it as a place holder for "free market" where all the decissions arise from individuals, while I use the historical meaning including all the free market interference that come with that construct of human society.
The viability and capability of such a hypothetical free market is fascinating topic I may explore in the future. But it is simply not what I'm talking about. I'm not arguing against the free market.
You yourself seem to acknowledge that such a free market does not exist but you seem to attribute the reason for why it doesn't exist soley to the "state" perhapt whithout asking the question how the state got the idea to implement this IP and patent laws in the first place.

2024-08-29 08:51:52

Digital goods like software and media can be copied for basically free. We know what the maximum prosperity of that looks like. It's when everyone can gets a free copy of whatever media or software they desire.
The state doesn't force busineses to go the route of making digital goods artefically scarce.
It is capitalism that incentivises this rent seeking behavior.
Capitalism is not a hypothetical unregulated free market. It is a system where an owner class of people allocate capital in order to extract more capital from the work of others.
That system incentives a certain behaviour and it is not in any way efficient in allocating resources to maximize prosperity. And it is just undeniably obvious in the case of digital goods.

Good morning comrades
Did you know that solar has seen exponential growth for over four decades? And it shows no signs of slowing down.
We are just a few years away from producing more solar power than global energy consumption.
I hear you complain that this can't be true, but that's just your brain being bad at handling exponential trends.

Certainly a common held belief comrade.
If true it would mean that the mere addition of such an option like restricting copies by IP law completely derails the prosperity maximising nature of capitalism and incentivices the complete opposite.
Even more troublesome in that case is the fact that technological solutions like DRM or the move to SaaS subscription models allow coorporations to do the exact same thing even in the Absence of enforcable IP laws.
It certainly looks like capitalism would go that route even in the absence of such laws.
It is much more likely, that it is in fact the Capitalists innate desire to gain as much profit for themself for as little effort as possible, that causes this rent seeking behavor, which cripples the free replication of digital goods and maximization of the prosperity of the many.

Do you mean because the state enforces intelectual property rights? Or can you elaborate what exactly do you mean?

2024-08-27 16:19:47

1. economic models are about efficiently allocating limited resources to maximise prosperity.
2. Digital goods like software and media can be copied for free and benefit everyone once produced.
Yet capitalism struggles for decades with this, completely incapable of embrasing this digital superpower to multiply prosperity, artificially crippleling it in an effort to use it to multiply profits of a few, instead of the prosperity of many.
Think about all the software you currently use comrade! The one that respects your freedom the most, the one that embraces this superpower. Most of it is written and maintained completely outside of the coorporate structures of our capitalistic system.
This platform, Bitcoin and all the freedom and privacy preserving FOSS you enjoy does not exist because of capitalism, it exist despite of it.

2024-08-27 05:37:27

Good morning comrades.
Using exclusively FOSS to do your work means you are in full control of your means of production and is hence a revolutionary act.

Are you once again scheduled to hold this talk? I can't wait to listen to it. Thought provoking stuff!

FOSS is the only software development model that not actively seeks to destroy free market dynamics with user lock-in mechanisms to a particular company.

Well said comrade! I just joined this wonderful platform. A true proletarian revolution against the hyper capitalistic nightmare that is the coporate social media.
