RE: After Democracy
Steem is indeed the perfect representation of modern Western democracy. Those who have accumulated enough resources dictate to their servants which information will be seen and which censored. Every interaction is determined by mercantile profit motive. Those at the bottom of the pyramid calling for communist/socialist reform of the existing mercantile matrix, while those at the top of the pyramid attempt to profit by creating more chaos with vote-selling and delegation to chaos actors.
It is hard to argue with that. Chaos is indeed a ladder that the unscrupulous climb to power. However, not all we plankton seek socialist or communist benefits we haven't earned. I don't want to seize the means of production.
I already am the means of production. We all are. Non-point source production is become inevitable and centralized hoarding of capital is doomed to obsolescence. Clearly, today that has not yet happened. The mechanisms by which it is happening are already extant, and only catastrophic events might delay them.
Only our extinction will prevent them from eventuating.
Thanks!
