New life lesson: never volunteer for a for-profit company.

People who keep trying to do Socialism in a Capitalist system are doomed to fail, because Socialism produces enormous surpluses and Capitalists love to just gobble that shit up.

I would argue the traditional family structure is a micro-socialism state.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That depends heavily on how the family operates.

Historically speaking, the male head-of-household had dictatorial control over the ownership and expenditures within the household. Only in the last two generations have western women gained the right to hold down jobs and assume credit for large purchases, to own their own homes, and to take full custody of their children. The idea of emancipated minors, civil rights for children, and labor protections for young people are even newer. And there are plenty of reactionary political attitudes in the country that would see these reforms rolled back.

A family certainly can operate in a socialist capacity, when productive property and its surplus is shared equitably. But there are plenty of instances in which the head-of-house is functionally no different than a landlord, demanding the rest of the family live contribute surplus labor while existing in relative poverty.

Make sure to put anything you want public under the correct license. If a platform doesn't support CC or GPL or MIT, then leave.

EDIT: Or Apache, or IDGAF, of course. ;) But what I would really want is a license that forces your content to remain free, even if used in something else. Basically copyleft: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.html

Oi, you got a loicence for that choppa?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This baffles me. We've seen time and time again that for-profit will fuck you over any chance they get over a dollar if they must, and people still volunteers for them.

I guess that’s the difference between normal people and capitalists.
