 We already live in post-capitalist or meta-capitalist times. New feudal lords are emerging whose digital platforms, with the help of the governments that they control, have grown not just into monopolistic markets, but rather into digital fiefdoms in which you, me, all of us are their neosurfs. This is why, last year, DM25 set up meta, our center for post-capitalist civilization. In our mission statement, we explained its purpose. It says, we live in post-capitalist times. They may turn out dystopic, utopic, or anything in between, through art and research, argument and poetry. Meta works to break with a dystopic present, to imagine the world I knew, to grasp our present historical moment in order to help progressive movements find the path from the emergent dismal post-capitalism to a post-capitalism worth fighting and living for. That was our mission statement. Meanwhile, the most prominent of the techno feudal lords, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook fame, has already told us in no uncertain terms what he wants. He is planning to turn Facebook into a three-dimensional metaverse in which people, billions of people, move their lives. A digital world in which humanity lives, works, plays, and laughs. A world that he owns, and in which we, you, are his digital serfs, make no mistake. Zuckerberg, basis, and company are helping on creating exactly that which DM25's meta was created to prevent, a techno feudal dystopia. And as if to drive his point home, Mark Zuckerberg made the first step by announcing that this 3D version of Facebook is going to be called meta. So here we are, staring at a fork in the road. We can take DM25's meta path towards a technologically democratized society, leading one day when technology allows to something like a Star Trek liberal communism. Or we can surrender to Mark Zuckerberg's meta, a techno dystopia that will lead humanity to a matrix like nightmare. Well this is where you come in. To help us help you walk DM25's meta path, rather than to be sucked into Zuckerberg's meta, here are some simple steps you can take right now. A good first step would be to join DM25 along with Nam Chomsky, Caroline Lucas, Naomi Klein, Slavoj Cizek, and tens of thousands of intellectuals and activists across Europe around the world. A second important step is to donate some money to DM25, noting and remembering that Zuckerberg is investing zillions into his metaverse dystopia. Now we don't need zillions, but we still need a little bit of money to continue our work. And the third and final step is to follow DM25's meta and contribute to our work, ideas, projects and so on. It's either DM25's meta or Zuckerberg's meta. So let's seize the day or carpet DM, as we say, DM25. For if you, we fail to seize the day, Zuckerberg, Bezos and the others will. So join us. Join DM25's meta.
