“Taken together these current left ideas suggest a future of small groups engaged in subsistence farming and the production of artisanal cheese, perhaps on the edges of cities where survivalist enclaves and drone-wielding tech workers alike experiment with urban gardens.

@kate jodi dean is great & "communicative capitalism" is a very illuminating concept
@kate still thinking about this. dean does a great job of explaining the uncomfortable phenomenon of neoreactionaries and accelerationists having a better analysis than many leftists. it's because the left traditionally defines itself in opposition to a wage-labor capitalism that increasingly no longer exists, whereas the right, by virtue of their nostalgia for that form of capitalism, is well positioned to react against the transition to rent and service-labor "neofeudal" capitalism
@kate jodi dean is so good
