I hadn‘t come across the expression “sewer socialism“ before. As it goes when you hang a new word on something (at which @pluralistic@mamot.fr himself is famously skillful) — you had a sense of what it was and what it‘s good for, but what a difference it makes when you have a name for it, that you can point to, talk about, and describe in depth.
More sewer socialism please, in every community, everywhere in the world.

@slimhazard@mastodon.world @pluralistic@mamot.fr I'm all for the concept, but I feel the name is an unnecessary negative association. Yes, sewers are great and we should all want them to work, but also they remind people of shit. Most people who hear “sewer socialism” are going to need a whole lot of context to understand that it's supposed to be a good thing.
