A comment from the article: "In point of fact, I don’t think you can get around the fact that we need to renegotiate how our economy works. It’s just going to become more and more obvious over time." It's already obvious. We're very rapidly moving toward a world where a tiny, tiny elite capture massive percentages of all value through controlling a small number of convenience portals. The value of all other non-commodity goods tends toward zero, or the cost of whatever commodities they require. This does resemble the post-Capitalist terminal state Marx described. Marx did not advocate a revolution, nor did he say "from each according to his ability" and so forth. That was Lenin and Trotsky. Marx was really talking about this-- about the fact that capitalism would eventually overproduce itself into obsolescence. He wasn't anti-capitalist so much as post-capitalist, sort of a sci-fi thinker talking about post-scarcity. But I'm not a Marxist per se, and I don't think he had the right formula for "what do we do now?" I think that remains to be discovered.
