Oh, my mistake! I bow to your expertise, sir! Certainly, you are there waiting at the gates. 21 year old Private Joe Snuffy is definitely taking a break from drinking and hitting the gym to play the most boring game known to man.
Have you read anything other than this article? Law enforcement can track your phone, even when airplane mode is on, even if you take the battety out. They can know that a device was in a specific area at a specific time and will not need a warrant with the cooperation of corporations. No stingray is needed.
I never claimed there was anything wrong with money? As far as I thought, I was arguing that it was a tool so useful it would be reinvented if a society did away with it.
I wouldn't kill my neighbor? Was that too complicated an example? I think that money, like an axe, is a tool that can be used differently in different contexts. 'Money' isn't the issue. How it's used is the issue, which is why I think we would invent it. You don't solve the 'issues' of an axe. You don't solve the 'issues' of money. Capitalism uses stand-ins for value to harm people, but I am not convinced it's an inherent trait of value stand-ins. I think LV's are money, so I think you think that is true also.
I am aware of this. It's functionally no different than a dollar bill. The fact that I intend to melt down an axe after I use it to chop a tree down doesn't make it not an axehead. If I used that same axe to hack my neighbor to death, well, that's a completely different use. In the case of communist 'money', I think we would cease using money to kill our neighbor.
Anything you exchange as a representation or substitute for something else of value. I think communism would reinvent what I consider money but wouldn't use it as it's used under capitalism.
Don't take this the wrong way, but it's hard for me to contain my incredulity: have you been asleep for the last decade? Has a very obvious pattern of enshitification not been constantly proven as a rule on the tech sector? And an article is... outrage?
This actually isn't enough, right? It just results in a hung jury, and the prosecution gets another bite at the apple. You need to actively convince your fellow jurors to render a not-guilty verdict.
