But Industrial Society DOES transform the world around it continuously: into slums, shanties, sweatshops, strip malls, landfills, toxic waste dumps, poisoned watersheds & food chains, and lots and lots of bare, windowless cubes - which rise & are eventually deserted so that the next group of CHEAPER slaves in whatever rare tract of self-respecting virgin land remains can be rounded up & put into submission & then dependence. Progress indeed - & what a beautiful, edifying brand of it!
Stop buying into the down payment version of distributed life and start realizing that Global Bureaucratic Informatic Industrial Capitalism is a giant prison mgmt system based on 4 principles: extraction, depletion, destruction & desertion. Since it began, it has & is rapidly continuing to destroy all authentic forms of self-determination, natural beauty, indigenous character, skilled artisanship, interpersonal allegiance, human liberty, health, dignity and any sense of purposeful continuity.
Its not the governments job to provide people with a home. It would be nice to consolidate government agencies so that everyone whos ass needs kicked are all in one spot.
@ymp5000 But remember, Corporations are state backed and legitimized "legal fictions" - as are the artificial monopolies of copyrights, leasing rights, trademarks, int. property and the rest. The state is a necessary mediation - however we can change it's nature! (or can we - given the seemingly invincible power of Global Bureaucratic Informatic Industrial Capitalism?) Maybe it's just slaves, slums and sewage at an ever increasing and terrifying rate from here on out.
@AnarchoSyndicalistt very true indeed...i think the current capitalist elite are doing everything to keep people apart, because they know if people unite, their rule is over...from-isolated in FL
