That's one way. Another is a (theoretical) advanced society that directs its surplus value into creating art rather than consumerism or oligarchical capital accumulation.
- taeric 5y agoI mean.... I was (hopefully) obviously going for a cynical take. That said, I don't know how far I can agree with "we could have a society that acts like basically no other society we have ever seen." Do you have anything to base this "theoretical" on? Similarly, I'm fine with creating more homes for people, even if they are not artistic. When the value is on someone living there, as opposed to others looking at it, it sounds a whole lot differently.
- pcmoney 5y agoIsnt art just consumerism with extra steps?
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoNo.
- idiocrat 5y agoPerhaps just accepted tax evasion schemes.
