Watched the movie last night with a couple pals, and HOLY SHIT that was BETTER than what I expected! Thank you Boots Riley for being a based commie and not hiding any anti-capitalist themes! To everyone else who still hasn't watched it and keeps telling themselves they should, do itttttt

      The pals I watched it with are libs (I've been breadpilling, of course) and they both understood it was anti-capitalist and loved the movie Boots Riley do it again!

      recuperation looks like in the opposite direction

      Détournement is the nerd-word for this. I love détournement efforts, reclaiming labor and culture away from money and markets. FOSS software like Lemmy, and stuff like vaporwave, which (often) takes commercial jingles and other hyper-commercial music and makes it non-capitalist. Reclaiming humanity from the machine.
