@arrrg @aral I think it goes even deeper. capitalism is the problem here no doubt, but I think this is ultimately due to its authoritarian, hierarchical structure. That's what it's built to enforce. we can't hope for success in swapping out one authoritarian system with another. we have to make a new way of relating to one another without subjugation in any form, otherwise you just get extreme inequality from the abuse of power structures for individual gain and defence of the system itself
