they think im building an indie game but what im actually doing is building a recursive socioeconomic cooperative to demonstrate scalable collaboration as a weapon against the system that is killing us all (low key)

we would not have billionaires (centralized) if the dollar (centralized) were backed by labor (decentralized) another way to think about it: as labor is first-order (it is intrinsically tied to time and life itself), and money is second-order, money reflects the nature of the first-order. and so, if money were ‘backed’ by a decentralized source of power, à la labor, you would not see the same ilk of centralization/consolidation emerge (which is what leads to billionaires anyways)

@ShowMeFreedomMO @JohnFGresham @commie_trucker you cant have a decentralized (localized) system built atop a centralized socioeconomy (which capitalism is, as capital intrinsically consolidates under it) if you want local power & decentralization, you need to distribute power according to something decentralized (like labor)

@JungleJoosh @nyaraVT well, the overton window is way bigger than capitalism. were not extreme by noting that - the capitalism pocket of beliefs is one of many (and one of the most right-leaning) - regulations on capitalism are ~futile because private capital inevitably swallows the government

exactly! like the whole universe, its recursive (each loop defined by the prior) t'was refreshing to see your articulation of such as a spiral (as ive literally sketched such out to demonstrate it before). people struggle intuiting recursive patterns (which is understandable), which has often left myself thinking this intuition-delta is what has shaped this multi-generation folly (which has me seeing it as a key avenue/awareness to riding the spiral more healthier as a species)

In a way American decline is a Marx was right moment. America was basically most functional at its most socialist, but Americans didn’t understand this so they couldn’t articulate effective politics to sustain it. Follow the wrong gospel for a generation and it all falls apart.

@angrygunmonkeys Marx’s material dialecticism is still cyclical, just a spiral rather than circle. Also open question of how long the cycles are.

It’s incredible how “if we meet people’s basic needs, they’ll stop working” and “billionaires are hard workers” coexist in people’s minds.

@lapdoteth @nyaraVT Yeah you can! I am! Center left just means you believe in tighter regulation. Environmental controls, consumer protections, worker rights. It’s all still private equity baby. Why is everyone on this app so extreme?

@JungleJoosh @nyaraVT the left/right line in the sand is between capitalism and anti-capitalism you cannot support a capitalist government and be “left wing”

@nyaraVT Don’t confuse left wing with socialism. That’s far left. Left just means slightly bigger government. Not total government.

may i ask, why would a capitalist government not grow to serve private capital interests further? and if your guttural reaction is "capitalism means no government", may i ask, who would protect private capital interests? ... since you're slow, ill make this rather simple for you: capitalism implies and requires and leverages government for private capital interest desires. it is implicit to the design... which you simply did not understand because those private capital interests own the media and propagandized you real good. time to wake up

Allow me to propose a radical new strategy for governments: Leave people the fuck alone. That's it, that's the strategy.

@SamuelGabrielSG @WatcherGuru i know you love the taste, but normal humans cannot survive on bootrubber. with that in mind, do you think its rational for the US to have an endless war ♾️-budget, while 1 if 5 US kids incurs food insecurity and 70k+ americans die a year directly due to lack of health care?
lapras 🌺 🐚@lapdoteth

the capitalist is so brainwashed that they oft support billionaires over universal health care, in effect showing a deeper desire to lick rubber than to ensure their family can survive a crisis. such reflects a deeply confused mind, which reflects a deeply lost socioculture.

@lapdoteth @missmayn There's no hypocrisy in my stances, but I don't see a productive conversation between us based on how you approached me and (from reviewing your own profile) seeing you're a terrorist supporting communist. So cheers
