pretty sure it's communism

:hai: this. idk if we can truly envision how an unadulterated society would look, because even such an imagination is itself involved in the spectacular mode. we cannot operate outside of the sphere of spectacle because it is impossible to disengage from the capitalist mode of production. That said, a society free of spectacle would necessarily be one which has escaped such a mode of production

i posted these two short essays by William S Burroughs & Giles Deleuze yesterday in the discord, and I’m posting them again here because i think what they view as aspects of a ‘control society’ fit nicely with the notion of the society of spectacles.
