There’s a deep cultural trauma around collectivism. When people hear socialism or communism, they think of failed authoritarian regimes and for good reasons. Those who claimed to practice them have often created systems that lead to oppression &amp; economic failure.

love this, it's so fair and balanced, this is why i don't identify with most traditional leftist ideologies - just like capitalism "looks good on paper" but sucks hard in practice and late stage power dynamics, there's been significant failures in the implementation of socialist power structures that are too widespread to just ignore. marxist promises of equality and fairness are great but from what we've seen, even modern "success stories" like china and vietnam still struggle with rampant inequality and corruption, and wind up looking entirely too much like their capitalist counterparts.

we need new power structures, we need new governance, we need new tools for coordination, blockchain is the only path forward

We need a fresh doctrine for the 21st century. I think it involves a combination of shock and awe (memes), secrecy (cryptography) and decentralisation (internet + blockchain)

A-site is late stage capitalism. We need to be rushing B instead (some form of internet-based socialism)

Holy shit yes

Yes I’m down for this, I think @tbsocialist has some good ideas, but yes we need to ship internet socialism full send 

So many different things to do

We need a repository or something for this idk, how do we manage our ideas?

Essays on ideas maybe? Blogs? Pseudo code?

im literally begging this whole channel for ideas on how this could work, ill code anything anytime anyplace if we can just envision what it should look like
