    The Information Revolution, and its consequences, have been a disaster for the human race.

      Imagine all the awesome things we could do with this technology if we lived under socialism

        Literally having moon colonies because we're no longer spending trillions to uphold capitalist interests.

          I can't even comprehend it tbh. Even the little things... well, especially the little things. Imagine social media that wasn't designed to rot the minds of its users

            imagine an economy planned with the vast computing resources currently being used to track everyone's online behavior and sell you baby wipes

              Imagine public libraries (incl. digital) with full free access to every book, every patent, every scientific article. Imagine being able to freely download and use the most current version of every piece of software for any application as well as access to learning resources.

                    :sankara-salute: Glad you're fighting the good fight, comrade. Also yeah good point, I'd love some! I know we used to have a Stallman emote but after some of his uh interesting views got propagated I guess we got rid of it.

          Just the disbanding of global militaries alone would free up more than enough money to feed everyone, house everyone, and still have enough left over for some moon/mars bases and maybe an L5 station.
