    I think we’ll know what to do with the means of production once seized; I wouldn’t worry about that.

    The tools that will not dismantle the master’s house are the bourgeois democratic ones. We can’t seize the means through their political system. We have to overthrow & replace their system through revolution, not reform.

      Justice does not naturally arise from unjust circumstances. Justice is a punishment forced onto those who have wronged their fellow man, exacted by those who have been wronged

        in today’s world, those who have been wronged have been conditioned to redirect their anger at forces that are trying to liberate them.

      Cool. Well, if his tools are useful for that, then good. But those tools need to become not his, but ours.

      So, on the ownership.

      This is not a defense, but pointing out the issue in thinking that the it is some inherent issue in some tech, rather han who owns it and how it is used.

      And I did not make the meme.

        The issue is also - to suit what purpose the tool was made. Tools didn’t emerge from nowhere.
