@clive @ernie Lipstick on a pig at this point. Sure it's fixing the latest worst thing about 2024-Google but not the worst-worst things about 2024-Google, i.e. the low quality of (marketing-motivated) results ranking or the tracking of users for psychological profiling which can then be sold to interested parties for mass manipulation at key moments.

@Radical_EgoCom And how is this different from an AnCom federation?

@Radical_EgoCom Oh wow, that's gotta be the weirdest plan I've heard yet. So you imagine you can get the vast majority of the people convinced to switch to a new way of doing things, and the material resources needed to make the reorganization real, and for the whole process to start from the grassroots... only to then use it all to build a new centralized power structure? That makes no sense. All the things necessary to build all of that up are already sufficient to speed through directly to a state-less society. That such a massive grassroots reorganization is probably near-impossible to do is exactly _why_ leninists and others said no, you know what, we should strike at the existing center of power and take over the existing state, which is already built up, and then reform it and reform it until it's no longer needed anymore and just withers away.

@Radical_EgoCom @djuuss You do realize if your strategy is based on changing culture first and using that as a basis to change material reality afterwards, that's idealism, and is exactly backwards to how dialectical materialism works? With this kind of logic you might as well be a Liberal, this isn't Marxist thinking. ;)

@Radical_EgoCom Um, no, you seem to be misunderstanding Leninism. Leninism doesn't "create" any state, it takes over the existing state from the capitalists. This state is hypercentralized because that's how capitalists built it up, because that's what they needed from it.As for your Federalism, you still haven't explained why you wouldn't go straight to a Communist stateless society. Your method of buildup already requires so much cultural influence and so many material resources you could just reshape all of society without any transitional phase of centralized-anything.

@Radical_EgoCom You keep repeating that, but you never explain why. Why is it that only a state can organize production and distribution to properly address human needs? If that were true it would mean stateless Communism is impossible.And why is a state the only way to fight counterrevolutionaries? Why can't local community self-policing do it?And why do you need to keep fighting counterrevolutionaries until the end of time? Didn't Marx say the revolution happens when the "immense majority" of the population is proletarian and has come to want a revolution? If the revolution is done properly, there should be hardly any reactionaries left (this where it seems Lenin went wrong - he tried to force a revolution through when society wasn't ready and there was no "immense majority" on his side).

@Radical_EgoCom I think I've figured out why you never seem to be really addressing the core point of any question you're being asked: your "answers" all sound like they're LLM/GPT-generated.You're either not educated enough to have these discussions, you don't care enough to write the answers yourself, or you're just a bot account. Which one would you say is most probably true? :)

@Radical_EgoCom You do realize that your Mastodon server's rules (#6 to be precise) mandate that you explicitly mark any content you post that's made with Generative AI, right? And that I could report you for having failed to do that, repeatedly.
