    I don’t mean this in bad faith as you said previously but how for all three things?

    how do you organize and educate? join an org, talk to people.

  • thread should’ve been locked once op grasped a firm understanding of the practical implications of the concept. it’s turned into a vapid and futile capitalism v socialism argument as usual. can’t believe i read all 22 pages

    uh thats why you educate.

    telling someone what to believe in is not how you educate people

    I’m not sure if you’re taking any steps to do the above but if you are I wish you well.

    Hopefully it amounts to something and then I can happily join :)

    cool but im not going to sit here and tell you some of the worlds most exploited people should hastily revolt against their oppressors, who are at best an ambiguous force of MNC's and foreign governments, just so they can be slaughtered and replaced with new slaves who will only be more oppressed. like i said, revolution requires organization.

    Then nothing will ever change. That’s what you aren’t understanding.

    i didn't guilt trip you. i explained to you why simply saying "i want to make technology to end the exploitation of workers" is not a feasible goal under capitalism because that technology will be concentrated in the hands of the capitalists. if you care about ending exploitation, you need to care about ending capitalism, therefore, it is only logical to subscribe to socialism.

    This is going to go in circles btw. People will give ideas of education and “organisation” and people will keep asking for details that don’t exist.

    Organizing does not happen until action is first taken

    you asked if i wanted cereal or starving kids

    I think technology will kill capitalism by removing the need for exploitation

    it goes in circles, so says you, because people like you don't really want to listen and get educated on whats necessary because you don't actually want these things.

    and im telling you that's not true because technology in the hands of the capitalits will simply be used to reproduce the status quo of exploitation, just in another flavor.

    Synopsis I genuinely want to listen my friend. I have been here for like 20 pages trying to get my opinion changed.

    I’m unfortunately not 15 anymore so buzz words about organisation and education don’t mean much without an actual action plan.

    I understand you perhaps may not have it thats why I’m not really pressing the point.
