@rnd@toot.cat @davidgerard@circumstances.run @ariadne@social.treehouse.systems just dropping in to say the USSR was also capitalist. Their economy was defined by capitalist social relations: wage labor, commodity production, and the law of exchange value.

@earthshine@masto.hackers.town @georgetakei@universeodon.com Actually this is how capitalism was designed to work. Capitalist organizations are controlled by a dictator (CEO), who gets the results of everyone's labor (revenue/profit), and then unilaterally decides how to distribute it. Naturally, they give themselves the most money. These economic dictatorships are legally guaranteed as "private" property and backed by state violence.
In that sense, the billionaire is no different than the millionaire business owner is no different than the small business owner. All are bourgeois dictators. Property is the root of the issue.
Also, if you read Marx, you can move beyond a moral understanding of the issue. He describes how capitalists are forced to act this way by competitive pressure. Exploit or cease to exist.

@AndresFreundTec@mastodon.social @thesamesam@social.treehouse.systems @mgorny@social.treehouse.systems I'm on a two week update cadence and it's fine. Especially when my systems have auto-update. I also set them to randomly reboot once every 7-10 days so I know I can handle random outages.

@alice@lgbtqia.space One thing you learn doing community organizing is there is a fascist element in every neighborhood, sometimes even in people who think themselves liberals, every neighborhood is a battleground

@glyph@mastodon.social People say this sometimes but it's pretty empty when you leave out the meaty and interesting part which is what is your proposed paradigm to reduce boilerplate?
