Antonie Pannekoek, born on this day in 1873, was a Dutch astronomer, philosopher, Marxist theorist, and socialist revolutionary.
A respected Marxist theorist, Pannekoek was one of the founders of council communism and a main figure in the radical left in the Netherlands and Germany, active in the Communist Party of the Netherlands, the Communist Workers' Party of the Netherlands and the Communist Workers' Party of Germany.
Pannekoek is perhaps best known for his writing on workers' councils. He regarded these as a new form of organization capable of overcoming the limitations of the old institutions of the labor movement, the trade unions and social democratic parties.
He was a sharp critic of anarchism, social democracy, and Leninism. During the early years of the Russian revolution, Pannekoek gave critical support to the Bolsheviks.
Unlike some other progressive thinkers of his time, Pannekoek was also highly critical of social darwinism, derisively calling it "bourgeois darwinism".

I get that NFTs are toys for rich people but if you're going to dump a million dollars into an electronic speculation asset, just buy land and trick out an avatar in second life or something. At least you can interact with that and have "fun". The best you can do with your cartoon ape is look at it and probably feel depressed because it's ugly and cost you a lot of money.
at LEAST with bougie art trading IRL, you actually get a fucking picture to put on a wall. with NFTs you get your name on a page separate to the image nobody looks at. honestly, I think that part of the appeal to cryptobros is that bored apes and the lions and w/e look like shit, I think they think it's some profound declaration about art
It's the banana duct taped on the wall for day traders who've never struggled in their life.
