  • Not at first. The first tasks would be making sure all are housed, fed, and can lead decent lives where work is meaningful and necessary.

    But even while that’s going on we would have a great number of people who would be better off doing minimum work and pursuing other interests. Much of the “work” under capitalism is just detrimental to ourselves and our environment.

    Space travel would become meaningful and achievable again as it would not need to find a reason to be profitable. We would free to combine our global resources, to share technology and pursue space travel for the simple pursuits of exploration and survival.

    It would actually inspire many people to pursue and take an interest in Space travel when they’re not forced to live as slaves doing meaningless jobs building plastic trinkets or figuring out how to get money out of people on mindless phone games.

    And the goal would not just be for some competing companies to stick flags on rocks or mine asteroids to make more useless trinkets.

    So I think it would become a great focus as we’d no longer be toiling just to live another day and would be asking greater questions about our place in the universe.











  • Yep, to be clear ideologically I fall more into the “queer anarchist” camp and am not an authoritarian communist.

    I know that hexbear is mostly old chapotraphouse posters who are more in the Marxist-Leninist camp. I don’t agree with them on many things, but I think their brand of being rude and insulting to capitalists and liberals is valid and kind of funny.

    Not only is capitalism morally reprehensible and responsible for colonisation, white supremacy, inequality, and genocide. It’s also just a really stupid and nonsensical system that expects infinite growth within a system with finite resources. It’s a death cult with the growth pattern of cancer. Continuing with that system in spite of decades of empirical evidence that it is leading our world into collapse is completely insane in my opinion. People who believe in that shouldn’t be reasoned with, they should be insulted.

    Anyway on first glance through hexbear I didn’t see anything “completely insane”. However if I go to somewhere like Reddit what I see is the complete insanity of people justifying and making excuses for morally reprehensible systems such as capitalism and acts of genocide.

    I think liberals and centrists view themselves as being rational and reasonable when they’re not at all.
