I agree on principal, but in reality it would feel like chatting to tech support or chatgpt.

Besides, bitter sweet, the bitter makes the sweet so much more sweeter.

socialists and Marxists get accused of being deterministic but if we look at history, through the decades capitalism is integrating socialism into it. I think at some point it will simply be socialism. We’re just not there yet, I think that won’t happen until human labor has no value.

A few points: Capitalism hasn’t freely integrated socialist ideas. Each idea has been won through workers’ struggle. Even after the fact, those wins are clawed back by the capitalist class. They will capitulate as a means to defend against revolution—which flows back into your Zizek quote: capitalism’s way of reinventing itself. But capitalism, as a political philosophy, will always maintain a ruling class and an underclass to exploit.

This is why we must continue to struggle, and why we should not see these small capitulations as proof that socialism will evolve naturally from capitalism.

PS: you would probably enjoy Leon Trotsky’s writings. One book he wrote: Fascism, What is it and How to Fight it. Where he takes a principalled and dialectical approach to the subject.

I agree—fascism, as I see it, is capitalism in a death spiral. Capitalist economies aren’t able to offer stability or continuous growth. Once things start hitting the upper end of the bell curve, we will see corporations and the managers of capital (politicians) pulling and pressing all the buttons and levers in a frantic effort to maintain course. This won’t work. As a last-ditch effort, fascism is employed by the ruling class as a means to strong-arm against revolution, as workers see wages become incapable of maintaining pace with inflation.

All this is to say: capitalism is deeply flawed. The corporations would prefer a muted underclass over the revolutionary type we can expect in the coming years. And to repress a revolutionary workforce, fascism will be used.

I tend to keep deterministic idea out as they seem harmful but I would love to further read into this, so if you have links send them my way

A lot of therapy is about acceptance, which our current society makes a boggy man from mental illness especially NPD and BPD which doesn’t help the matter so in essence most therapy is self correcting with guidance.

But how ever we will frame it, in a classless society people with NPD, or a general lack of empathy will get the help they need.

And we should seek to create a society where these people can self correct. Become empathetic.

What has he got to worry about, even if his stocks plunged to 0 he would still have a better retirement then the rest of us. Capitalism is a sickness even the capitalist are turned mentally ill by the system.

For that I would go the route of any mini pc with ddwrt’s development and an e-ink screen. More io, more affordable and much easier to develop on!

Its running an older version of android, 4.4 KitKat and its massively stripped down with system apps. Keeps in lean, but fully functional. As a tinkerer and an enjoyer of digital books, this scratches an itch which jailbreaking didn’t.

I used the white winter jailbreak, then (guide)Installing android on your (aging) kindle e-reader

Read the PDF to get I good understanding of the processes involved. Also one of the tools is in Chinese but once a list of text is shown press 8, I saw someone in the thread pressed something else and bricked they’re Kindle, but its all covered in the PDF guide.

I was pretty content with that too but then with one of the updates I had Amazon asking for registration and network connection every time I powered on. That and defaulting to store screen instead of my library. When I first got the pw3 this wasn’t an issue.

I would recommend the white winter jailbreak.

I don’t have gaps on my kindle. And even has limited system apps as it needs to be light for the hardware

If I had to buy an ereader I would buy something that is native android but my pw3 had been passed to me from my grandmother, which I cherish the device but I care deeply about privacy and freedom so hackdroid is a great middle ground.

My kindle PW3 runs android well. If anything it feels faster as no notifications about logging in, registering.

This is massive. Hope the detail leak so we can use this in the revolution.
