in the original article.... I quote:
>Towards the end of Technofeudalism, Varoufakis canvasses some proposals, drawn from his earlier book Another Now (2020), for how to address these issues. These include ending the cloudalists faux “free service” model and replacing it with a universal micro-payment model, instituting a Bill of Digital Rights, and using digital technology to “democratise companies” (with decisions being taken collectively by “employee-shareholders”)
employee owned coops are a major socialist idea, and are a definitive step away from privately owned capital, toward collectively owned production by the employees (proletariat, if you will).
so, yes. he does. in this article.
- DaiPlusPlus 3y agoWhen you talk of abolishing "private property" ownership that wasn't what I had in mind; instead, peoples' minds immediately jump to an image of a state-sanctioned jackbooted thug taking away my GameBoy... and I'm pretty confident Yannis isn't advocating for that.
- cassianoleal 3y agoThat's because no one advocates for that. When communists talk about ending private property, it's specifically about the means of production. Your GameBoy, as well as your car, your house, your bed, your computer, etc. are personal property and nobody wants to take that away from you.
