@ageha @feld @sun
actually the solution is authoritarianism
you create a rigid top-down environment with clear goals where parasite-people can't do their thing, then you enforce that order by keeping them afraid of consequences if they try to subvert from the outside
keep the goals aligned with the common good and you'll attract competent stable personalities that actually want to do the work and who are aligned with this mode of organization, creating self-perpetuation
none of this is possible if you have a culture where building this sort of organization is actively viewed as bad in itself though, of course (but people will create nonaligned authoritarian organizations in their absence of course, leading to a society ruled by corporations, religious sects and puppeted special interest groups

it is the foundation for basic big-government social democracy, (current) reactionaries want to dismantle all government institutions for profit and deregulation purposes

@whiteline @ageha @feld neoreaction posits that you should formally implement the hierarchies that naturally manifest under every system

my sociologist mom always tried to remind me that if you don't put formal leaders in place, invisible leaders will arise

@whiteline @ageha @feld I think the difference, and the reason I attached it to the above post, is that it strongly implied that people need to be led by a specific group that knows what's best for it, which is extremely paternalistic

@whiteline @ageha @feld I actually do believe that telecom is best as a public-private partnership with lots of partners

@sun @ageha @feld
less "led" and more "forcibly prevented from burning down society around them"
having the government run the hospitals, trains, power, telecom backbone and public housing doesn't imply lack of core personal freedoms, it just means that you aren't allowed to make profit in certain ways, which honestly is completely irrelevant unless you're wealthy
