Doctrow argues that nascent tech unionization (which we’re closer to having now than ever before) combined with bipartisan fear (and consequent regulation) either directly or via agencies like the FTC and FCC can help to curb Big Tech’s power, and the enshittification that it has wrought.
Wait are you talking about caring about the workers? Hm… Idk… Sounds like communism to me 😠
Communism is not “caring about workers”. If you read what Lenin thought of NEP, he agreed that it was in fact better for workers, but ideological impurity of that system was more important, and the reason it was kept for a while was that without some economy there’d simply be no new state after the civil war. While for Trotsky even that wasn’t a good reason.
I was making a joke about right-wingers calling every slightly social, pro-labor, feminist, or anti-racist policy (basically anything that isn’t taxes for the rich) “communist”.
They even called Biden a communist 🤦
Not funny really.
Lmao take it easy rottingleaf.
