"It’s become fashionable lately to say that capitalism has entered a new phase in which it has become parasitical to forms of creative cooperation. This is nonsense. It has always been parasitical." - David Graeber

@DGI@graeber.social Kapitalismus wurde bisher fast nur parasitär eingesetzt und zwar von Menschen (egoistisch, empathielos, gierig) die seine Regulierung verhindern. #Kapitalismuskritik #Demokratie

@DGI@graeber.social Yes, but perhaps what people are responding to is the law of diminishing returns. Even for those who believe that the ravages of capitalism are worth it (which I would never argue, to be clear), capitalism seems to have provided some major benefits historically - vaccines, electricity, etc. But what's it giving us now? Fucking chatbots?
