    I become increasingly less hopeful that it’s the former and it painfully it may really in fact be the latter. The working class being so fully locked out is starting to feel like inevitable feudalism. And I do think that the technological factors have only exacerbated this. How was Marx to account for the massive ownership of say, data, as a controlling resource? I’m less hopeful than I used to be, I’ll leave it at that. There’s still a chance it could come around and be okay, or more okay, in whatever form.

    I’m not sure if I believe in a communist or socialist utopia, just considering the nature of humanity. But I believe that there’s some better way to strive for. Seems like we’ve veered off course.
