capitalism works as long as we build a Dyson swarm!
if there's one type of economic system that can keep masses of people in crushing poverty just barely above subsistence level even though there's a literal dyson sphere, it's capitalism

The rate of profit for anything is space is so marginal, compared to scamming people back on earth, with poo poo like bitcoins. Hence why millions of graphics cards are being burned out doing the equivalent to calculating digits of pie to win a coupon, but we don't have a moon base.
imagine the god energy of a dyson sphere being harnessed for bitcoins

I also like isaac arthur, but it's such a shame that, like most tech nerds, they've bought wholesale into the crypto/musk/sci-fi headspace, and they're not critical aboutly thinking about some things.

quote:

Yet revolution is a supreme political act and those who want revolution must also want the means of achieving it, that is, political action, which prepares the ground for revolution and provides the workers with the revolutionary training without which they are sure to become the dupes of the Favres and Pyats the morning after the battle. However, our politics must be working-class politics. The workers' party must never be the tagtail of any bourgeois party; it must be independent and have its goal and its own policy.

Abolishing ICE is radical guys...almost as radical as then taking ICE's functions and vesting it back in an INS 2.0 so we can keep deporting people.

quote:

Do you identify as a partner of a young person with wealth?

MMMC welcomes partners of people with wealth who were raised poor, working-class, or middle-class. Through their relationships, partners often find themselves in class transition and as class straddlers, with increasing access to wealth through relationship and family. Partners have a powerful and important role to play in working for wealth redistribution and social change. Partners will be placed in a small group (pod) together throughout the retreat that meets daily for relationship building and mutual support. In terms of content, MMMC is most appropriate and relevant for partners who currently or in the future expect to have interdependent finances and thus some level of access to wealth, or influence over decisions about wealth themselves. Chosen family members who are involved in financial decision making or business partners may also be appropriate to attend. Partners of people with wealth are welcome to attend MMMC on their own or with their wealthy partner.

imagine being so committed to social justice that you have to force your spouse who wasn't born to wealth into another room to talk about income inequality.
