Opinions/commentary on such things tend to focus on some detail, and judge it right or wrong. Is forced use of Apple's payment processor OK? Would X be ok if Apple provided some way of installing externally to the app store? Would

To add some fluff to this: At one point twitter seemed to want to be a relatively general protocol, where users could build their own UI, use 3rd party apps and maybe even interoperate or extend with other social networks & such. Pg&#x2

(I'm the GP, not P) .. It perturbs me because it's usually a (imo) dirty rhetorical trick. The argument never really sticks to a "just markets & property" definition of capitalism. The way it usually works is: (ste

OK so... the "no true scotsman" game between warring ideologies is what it is. Marx more or less invents "capitalism" in his critique of it. Pro capitalists then came in with their own definitions of capitalism. Later an
