How would you know if there's no empiric evidence? Let me tell you, I'm not loving the results of the current pricing system, fwiw.

Yes, if you can fully track labor input, you can use LTV (Labor Theory of Value) to determine how much work went into a product and price it accordingly - that's what the poster above was referring to. https://en.wikipedia.o

That's what far-left is... And that's also what far-right is, and yes, the AfD qualifies.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the left wing. Check the parties in power that do those immigration policies you're unhappy with. They're all center-right. Look at the German government. CDU, center right. Look at the EU Pa

The AfD keeps gaining in polls, despite having been assessed as a far-right extremist by German security services. The Italian government is lead by neofascists. The US government - the world's most powerful state! - openly states the

I am not aware of any existing far-left threat in Europe. Should it come to that, we can discuss. For now, it's a red herring and insisting an imaginary threat gets the same attention as an actually-existing one a clear sign of partisa

What a polemic article. "Eurocrats", really? And the whole angle about American companies is weird as well. It doesn't matter where the company is from, if they operate in Europe, they have to follow European law. Why should

Budget does. Budget that you can extract by taxing hyperscalers aggressively.

What are you even talking about? We were talking about approaches to the climate crisis and you responded by denying it even exists and going on long rants about Lukashenko's bananas? Could you please be a bit more constructive and sol

That is precisely the point - you can't! I'm glad we got to this shared understanding in the end. So I'd appreciate if we stopped pretending the market did, when it fails to account for anything that's not somebody with

What company compliance teams do is once again, the responsibility of companies, not the EU. And the move away from cookies was addressed. That's why we have the GDPR now. We can always write new regulation, but its important to handle

I think we'll have to figure out the details, of course. As a first intuition, I feel like its mostly server farms and data centers that are the concern, large scale means of production. It feels right that those would be communally ow

> The one economically useful thing we will be able to do is legal property ownership. This is correct. But we don't need to ban AI to avoid the permanent underclass nightmare. It's time for the means of production to be owned

It's an ideological thing. (We just had a conversation about ideology actually, remember?) Capitalism has always been a tension between capitalists, who want maximum return on capital and workers, who want pesky things like a living

Nobody says it's a problem. We'd just like to know. Factory farming also makes meat cheaper than organic practices. I'd just like to know which one I'm getting.

The cookie consent banner is not the EU's fault. It's either don't track or ask for consent. The fact that the industry chooses to track is not on the EU.

In other words, their class interest is in conflict with the vast majority of the world. Wonder why people can't stand them.

Who is "us"? Because in capitalism, only people with capital get to decide what has value. The values of the poor are not reflected. The values of the indigenous are not reflected. The values of the non-capitalist are not reflecte
