🇪🇷GötterdämmerungIt's beginning to look like <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/Plato" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Plato</a> was more prescient about governments than Karl Marx ever was. After all, Plato claimed that democracy eventually degenerates into oligarchy before finally reaching a tyrannical state. OTOH, <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/Marx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Marx</a> argued that capitalism emerged from feudalism only to suffer crises until it finally reaches an utopian ideal in communism. Given the recent events in USA & the rise of oligarchs, <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/latestage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#latestage</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> has become <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/neofeudalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#neofeudalism</a>, Plato wins this round.

Shrikant JoshiOne of the best quotes that I have heard on 'unchecked and unbridled capitalism' comes from Rob Rosenthal, host of the SoundSchool podcast from <a href="https://bird.makeup/users/prx" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@prx</a>, and a podcaster I greatly respect and consider as a mentor.In a recent episode where Rob spoke from the heart about <a href="https://noc.social/tags/Spotify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spotify</a> ruthlessly culling good shows and good people from its roster, he said:"Unlimited growth is the logic of a cancer cell."This line lives rent-free in my head.<a href="https://noc.social/tags/latestage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#latestage</a> <a href="https://noc.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://noc.social/tags/podcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#podcast</a> <a href="https://noc.social/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quote</a>

Shrikant JoshiI've heard, on occasion an argument that can be paraphrased somewhat along the lines: "Regulations are a sneaky way of bringing socialism to a capitalistic economy."Yeah, you're right.But do you realise what that also means?It means socialism is the only thing that can keep unbridled capitalism in check.And, if you paid any attention in school, you would know that unbridled anything is the very definition of cancer.<a href="https://noc.social/tags/regulations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#regulations</a> <a href="https://noc.social/tags/socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#socialism</a> <a href="https://noc.social/tags/latestage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#latestage</a> <a href="https://noc.social/tags/endstage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#endstage</a> <a href="https://noc.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://noc.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cancer</a>

Shrikant JoshiA recent comment I read somewhere about <a href="https://noc.social/tags/latestage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#latestage</a> and <a href="https://noc.social/tags/endstage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#endstage</a> <a href="https://noc.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> got me wondering...What does post-capitalism look like?I mean the <a href="https://noc.social/tags/posttruth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#posttruth</a> world has been a <a href="https://noc.social/tags/dystopian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dystopian</a> nightmare and we are still reeling. Would post-capitalism also similarly be 'horrors beyond comprehension'?Is there even such a thing as post-capitalism?

Daniel LundinDon't you just adore how plenty of folk bash <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/redhat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#redhat</a>, while (still, 30 years later) often readily accept a hundred bucks to Microsoft or Apple when buying a computer , because... yeah why exactly? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/latestage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#latestage</a> ...
