    Called it. I've been around some pork circles and this is what they're coalescing around as their next pitch.

    EVERYONE should be their own individual small business owner, being a businessman is the new clergy so no one will have anything to complain about when everyone's a pork. In a sense, they do want communism but only on their own terms. If the capitalist class is the only class, then it's a classless society.

      how long before this proceeds to trying to pitch gig work as "passive income" via some incredibly convoluted logic

      That's always been their pitch, I'm pretty sure it's even discussed in the manifesto when Marx talks about petty bourgeois socialism.

      Sounds a lot like what my-hero babbled about when he said he was a socialist, but only wanted socialism for those that deserved it. Secular Calvinism is a fuck.
