Depends on which, um, “plumbing” you got down there.


If only if burnt a couple decades earlier. A bit too late there mate.


Okay, even if I grant you that, does everyone in the Chinese government have to sell their labour-power for a wage, aka the definition of a proletariat?


Unrelated, but I absolutely adore your pfp.


I would not say life can’t be lived without it, but it’s more so that Facebook has so successfully commodified the public sphere that it seems almost like a natural, inherent part of contemporary communicative actions.


Maybe I’m just being optimistic, but I trust Torvalds. The same can’t be said about the typical vibe-coder, though.
Right. While I do have doubts as to whether the workers truly control the state in China, I admit it is not my area of study. After all, commodity form production is still very much a thing in China.
I’ll do some more research and then come back to it if I have more questions. (I really need to re-read Das Kapital, lol)
