@adamgreenfield Really interested to hear what you think. Still finding my feet in this area. But seeing the top-to-bottom ICT stack as the latest evolution of capitalism and then as a useful site of struggle chimes (though I work in ICT so...). Similar to McKenzie Wark's #Vectoralism. I like @ntnsndr 's [[Governable Stacks against Digital Colonialism]] on this too.

@Tizzie #McKenzieWark is by far one of my favorite media theorists. I've found their #vectoralism frame is super helpful in understanding a bunch of stuff... :)

Try to make sense of the dynamics of #vectoralism through the lens of #capitalism, and you're going to have a bad time...

Landed Property ≠ Capital Property ≠ Intellectual Property

@Steve Some real estate, some capital, and some IP...

@enkiv2 Are you familiar with #McKenzieWark's work on #Vectoralism as something separate from capitalism?

@christianbundy Wark's framework is a little challenging to grok, but it has really helped me make sense of a lot of the dynamics surrounding #platformcoop stuff, particularly the idea of #Vectoralism.

Very worth digging through. :P

@kdsch Among other things, his analysis of "#vectoralism" is a really useful lens for understanding the social media crisis, contemporary intra-elite class conflicts, etc. From 2004: http://subsol.c3.hu/subsol_2/contributors0/warktext.html

@emily In the last year, McKenzie Wark has had a lot of influence on my thinking about platforms via their analysis of #vectoralism as a thing separate from #capitalism, as well as the sorts of politics that arise from that differentiation. A Hacker Manifesto, written in 2004, rocked my world and yielded some very prescient insights into contemporary politics: http://subsol.c3.hu/subsol_2/contributors0/warktext.html
