A Socialist Plan to Fix the Internet
- voodoochilo 7y agoI don't believe that socialism in its final form will have to do anything with democracy.
- sharemywin 7y agoThe plan/article doesn't address: - Bundling - Innovation/Productivity - Incentives Also, if you decommoditize things you can't trade them for other things. So, the commodities that are left would become that much more relatively expensive.
- sharemywin 7y agoI not arguing against the ideas just the need refined.
- claudiawerner 7y ago>Also, if you decommoditize things you can't trade them for other things. The idea is that this trade-off would be better in some way than the current situation. Commoditization necessarily optimizes for exchange-value over use-value. Therefore it can be included in the circuit of capital (M-C-M') and the incentive for its trade is no higher goal than augmenting money-capital. Now you need to summon the invisible hand to say that somehow, in a roundabout way, being a commodity is actually better.
- sharemywin 7y agoIf your the one selling the commodity then it becomes free. If you want to say trade that for land, food etc. good luck.
