One of the most bazinga things I've ever heard from a family member is "private ownership is best for everything because people that own something care about it more!" :so-true:
Coincidentally, that was the same argument made by founding :libertarian-approaching: talking heads for why children should be legally buyable in markets.
“private ownership is best for everything because people that own something care about it more!”
your shit is stuff and everyone else's stuff is shit kinda breaks down when you have too much stuff to care about it all individually. that actually sounds like an argument for expropriation.
private ownership is best for everything because people that own something care about it more
How do they square that with the fact that private ownership results in the accumulation of industry in a handful of people, leaving the vast majority to be dispossessed and alienated workers
They don't. They talked about how the staff microwave in the place they worked was dirty and poorly maintained, versus the nice one they owned at home. :maybe-later-kiddo: :maybe-later-honey:
Fanfics are basically copyright infringement but most big media companies ignore it because it doesn't really affect profits enough for them to care (or has a positive effect). They're passion projects done for free 99% of the time, and occasionally people will "finish" dead fics if the OP disappears for a few years.
Oh I see, and yes, I do agree. People that like something will do incredible things with it as a labor of love, which also defies the capitalist dogma of money as the only incentive for effort.
And some corporations clamp down hard on fan anything. Paramount was especially douchey with Prelude to Axanar and Star Trek Phase 2, for example.
Truly a wonderful system that does not waste or destroy already created labor value and knows just how best to allocate it

So, never read a 400k+ word fanfiction, eh?
:what:
I may have missed the reference.

That's very silly given that Star Trek was one of the first big fanfic fandoms.
such efficiency
