  >ah there's a bit of miscommunication on my part; that second part of my comment was and less about you and more me ranting about what i'm seeing in the system as a whole. I understand that, but I don't think this was the right time launch into such a rant. (Also, just as a general rebuttal, I think many modern Marxists fail to acknowledge how class dynamics have changed since the 1800s. There's no acknowledgement of the tension between the managerial classes and the people doing the actual labour - something which David Graeber explains brilliantly - and instead an immense focus on control of the worker via control of the means of production. Access to the means of production is ridiculously democratised now. You can look at my HN profile for a concrete example, but I, as a single 22 year-old from Australia, was able to design, manufacture and distribute a product globally, through cutting-edge logistics networks, without putting a cent of my own capital on the line. For the average worker, who is more often than not employed in a service role, a similar dynamic applied. All a skilled plumber, electrician or cleaner needs to start their own business now is a Facebook account, some tools and a van.)
