RE: Steemit and Marxism: The connection between Two Abstract But Utopian Concepts.
Steem is literally based on private ownership of capital, that is what the currency "steem" is. Communism is based on democracy. Steem is based on capital.
You haven't read any marx have you?
Sorry for my late response my bandwidth couldnt afford me the chance to respond promptly to your comments, thanks for going through my post and commenting as well.
The point i am trying to make from this topic is .
steemit is the next faze of social media and in its very best the future. it adopts the concept of equality, everyone is able to make earnings form work done according to their abilities involving collective effort which is evident in collective ownership of means of production on the steemit block chain, with steemit this zeros down to communism which is a collective ownership of the means of production by the community, the community isnt centered on one individual.
"everyone is able to make earnings form work done according to their abilities involving collective effort which is evident in collective ownership of means of production"
it is simply wage labor. The workers do not own what they produce it is "gifted" from the upper class through their stake in the platform. Its just capitalism.
" the community isnt centered on one individual."
and a communist commune isn't centered around private capital
To that extent when place side by side with other platforms steemit's has a decentralized flow of capital. Which is what karl Marx was infact stressing when he said he isn't against capital but the use of capital
How is capital on steemit when placed side by side with other platforms? @anarchyhasnogod will you say it is decentralized?
All epoch except communism is marred by inherent contradictions in the marxist trajectory, if steemit is the future then the last stage then it is inherent contradictions of facebook, twitter, myspace that has brought about steemit.
Myspace had its days, came facebook which ultimately would soon be obsolete except they make moves to spread capital across.
