   The intriguing part is how as communism progresses, the idea that businesses must be run only for the common good expands, but the expectation that politicians do weakens.
   
   The excuse being that somehow after they "fix" the businesses they can come back for the rulers.

     This is because the basic assumptions are that:
     -power functions the way it does because of the bourgeoisie/money power
     -the "proletariat" is always correct (and obviously, politicians are chosen by the "proletariat")

     @doctorsex also, I hate marx and socialists. They are midwit wordcels that thought if they create fancy words like "praxis" or "anthesis/thesis/synthesis" for old ideas, they could claim it was new.

     @TrevorGoodchild @doctorsex but I do agree that "money power" is a new form of power in society. Merchants had very little power prior to the middle ages. First real time they did was in Italy, iirc.
     
     And until we find a good balance for the power that economic actions generate we're going to be constantly wobbling.

     @doctorsex @TrevorGoodchild for sure. The control that money power has been able to generate has been immense.
     
     It used to be that wisdom and knowledge would support priest classes, but now knowledge is fed into industry which produces products which feeds into money power.

     @TrevorGoodchild @doctorsex what hitchhiker's cautions is that you can't always assume the value add is obvious, and sometimes people having a thing to do so they don't cause trouble is worth it.
     
     Other times things like gas station attendant seem ridiculous, but when viewed as an entry position into a mechanic, it makes sense.

     @dubbub @TrevorGoodchild @doctorsex "One way to see lenocracy in action is to go walking through the old downtown district of any small city or large town in today’s America. You’ll find a lot of empty storefronts. If you stop into a local bar, have a few beers, and ask some carefully chosen questions, you’ll discover two fascinating things."

     Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Jamie Dimon, and Mark Cuban have never felt such fears. That should be corrected.

     And this is probably a major reason why NATO is getting trounced in Ukraine: Russia is still a serious country that looks out for its own interests.

     @doctorsex @AmonMaritza @teknomunk @TrevorGoodchild not so much in all cases. Because the system demands enthusiastic consent now, and the cost of going against it is high and they can work around it.
     
     As an example, notice Cuban changing the language of DEI stuff in his companies. Ask why he did that but all the while claiming he wants "the best" or whatever he was saying

     It gives an entirely new veiw on the "climate change" hoax. They want to stick pimps in between everyone and activities as simple as breathing.

     @TrevorGoodchild @teknomunk @doctorsex @sickburnbro Tinfoil hat time: i believe guys like Billy gates, jeff bozo, mark cuckberg etc, they are all actors. They play the role to characterise our oppression and deflect from the real power who actually own these big monopolies. This is important optics because if we the people knew that 2 families of less than 20 people own everything it would be over for them, and they know that. That's why jeff had such a high media published divorce, it is a mind trick because if normals believe one thing then they must by implication believe the other. Like the covid for example, if you believe it was a bioweapon made in a lab because the jewish media printed that, then by default you can't believe that there was no covid and they just rebranded the flu so they could stick swabs of sentient worms up White humans noses.
     
     Back to topic, these super rich oligarchs may be actors too. Endless stories about how expensive their yacht is or how massive their house is. Then they commit suicide? All told by the news of course.
     
     If it is in the msn, it is made up. Everything, and i mean everything, is fake and geh. Very geh, and very fake.
     
     You may now remove your tinfoil hat and return to normal consumption.

     @Jonaschuzzlewit @teknomunk @doctorsex @6gorillianbarsofjewsoap @TrevorGoodchild The reason this is important is that if you compare say, a scripted drama versus the "reality tv" model - the costs associated with the later are much lower, because you aren't making everything fake look real, you're taking what is real and adding a director.
     
     If you scale up, the costs dont improve, much easier to show up as the director and make sure people know when someone is going off reservation
