    Cool, where tech-monopolies get their money from?

      In all reality tax payers, bailouts, government contracts (legit just a system that transfers taxed wealth from the working class right back to the capitalists).

        Main source is ads, but ads are just transfer of surplus received in production (marketing budget(tm)) to the other classes of capital, so they are exact same as financial capital (banks) taking their cut in bond yields.

        I just don’t understand why marxists are so enthralled with big data, they don’t use data to exploit, they are parasites on exploitation chain of production, same as bankers, or landowners, or ip rights holders.

        Kill ads, and google and facebook go under in a quarter

          The only tech ting I'd take is data analysis (the ways it can be used to aid public programs such as community health would be amazing) and logistical systems such as those from Amazon but down to ensure proper resource distribution (but without the inhuman as ghoul shit)
