Appreciated this article's analysis - and reminder that Roddenberry had issues too.

What are some of the harms caused by capitalism? Can these harms be addressed by replacing for-profit corporations with cooperatives? What are some of the benefits of capitalism? Can these benefits be preserved if for-profit corporations are replaced with cooperatives?

I'd love to discuss this with folks who are interested. Please boost & reply if you are.

I am not blaming individuals but it is so depressing how capitalism has made people very passive. They just want to consume consume consume and they want things super super convenient. As an artist and activist, I’ve gotta make sure to hang out with people who take action!

We live in capitalism
Its power seems inescapable
But so did the divine right of kings

This is possibly the best podcast episode I've heard, Which explains our present situation it needs to be listened to in its entirety. #postcapitalism.

A great article delving into the power of fractal software to empower organizations in post-capitalist worlds and imagining how Bonfire can benefit from adopting the fractal knowledge model itself.

The End of the Great Deviation: From Ukraine and the pandemic to the shaping of the new global order, Dimitris V. Peponis (book in #greek )
‘It has been noted that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of #capitalism , invoking the need for serious reflection on the end of the existing order and a #transition to a postcapitalist way of life. Yet the future of the world economy is but one of the aspects of #postcapitalism . After all, capitalism itself might be prima facie an economic system, but it has evolved into a comprehensive political, cultural, anthropological and international order.'

Okay. So this isn’t the first time this has come up in TNG/VOY/DS9 #StarTrek but just got to the Sisko’s dad ep who runs a restaurant in New Orleans.

Just like the coffee shop in VOY that SF Kim loves…

Why do these exist in a post-capitalism society? Is it just for the love of the craft? To have a sense of purpose?

What do you think? In a post-capitalistic society, assuming you aren’t in Starfleet, what are you doing all day??

-You worked everyday?
-Yes, and we still were poor.
-Poor?
-It's when you struggled to afford what you needed to live. Like food and shelter.
-Oh yeah, you told me about that. Can't believe they sold food! And if someone couldn't pay it?
-They wouldn't eat. Some even died.
-Glad they figured out that EVERYONE needs food...
-Oh we knew that.
-And still let some starve?
-Yup. I'm not saying that it was a very smart system.
-Paying for food and shelter! Unbelievable.
