We are living in a world owned by tech companies. People have 6 hours of screen time on average, mostly spent in capitalist apps like Fb Google Amazon Insta Reddit Youtube Chatgpt etc, and these companies shape people’s opinions.
Without owning these apps, or creating an alternative that people use, it is very hard to change anything, because they can manipulate people easily, and actually people became zombies with this much screen usage.
So what is the plan? How can we create alternatives? Is there a socialist development movement? Or how can we own the existing companies? How can the govnments use these companies in a socialist environment?
There is a vicious cycle, that prevents socialism take over.
I couldn’t exactly write, but social media etc is owned by them. I agree, AFTER socialism takes over we can think of a way of using it, but it prevents socialism to take over
Socialism won’t come around because people are thinking about it, but by organizing for it. Social media often spreads anti-capitalist messaging, even if it’s censored, simply due to people feeling the need for it due to capitalist decay.
