This was a good read, albeit pretty long. The major and final point, which certainly does not follow from the premises cited in this piece and which feels like a rush conclusion, is this:
"""
It’s time we began conceptualizing, and perhaps prototyping, computation and information in a workers’ world. It’s time to start conceiving of a new left-wing science.
"""
In other words, sadly, so many valid points along the way gets us only to a restatement of the "class-struggle". The current technocratic (intellectual elites) are bad, but if we replace them with "working-class" elites (in whatever new (uni)form they will be dressed in) the world will be a paradise.
I must reject the conclusion in the strongest terms while giving 100% truth to the statements for the core issues highlighted in this piece.
