Praise with faint damns - and a giant leap for Feyd Rautha

Play the game, Hardon

 Why don't you ever knock off the bullshit and just get to the point?

• 
  
• Tony Sasso: This *is* the point. This is the point, Taylor. It's not bullshit. I'm not just talking about my imaginary proletarian wife, I'm talking about my LIFE, I can't seem to get that through to you. 
• I'm not just talking about one person, I'm talking about everybody. I'm talking about form. I'm talking about content. I'm talking about interrelationships. I'm talking about value, the smelly Jew, shopping Hell, Gulag Heaven! Do you understand... FINALLY?

When cypherpunks are called terrorists

 We are doing our job. And by supporting a gift shop market indefinitely we will be called capitalists working for reaction.  No big deal.  This microeconomy may cease with the death of the last Marxist communist. Red brown fascists are not going to be debated.

They are going to be executed. I promise you.

The Struggle Against Fascism
Begins with the Struggle Against Bolshevism

My fabulous laundrette

 Exit through white powders gift shop

Capitalist companies' underutilization of computers' productive potential has been frequently noted by ludic specialists. The range of manufactures computers' peripheral equipment could achieve unceasingly continues to lengthen. A new giant step has been passed with the development of "fabbers" or "digital fabricators," which, transportable in a station wagon or little truck, can manufacture any three dimensional object in a minimal amount of time, at minimal cost.

Ghost gunners in the sky

In an article published in Open Source Jahrbuch 2005, Stefen Merten and Stefan Meretz, cofounders of Oekonux, describe the fabber as a machine that neither predetermines nor limits the ends to which it may be used; a machine that - unlike robots - does not limit itself to automating and copying a defined labor process. Any process can be programmed into the same machine which prefigures a society in which "human energy and creativity are no longer required except to produce informational goods" which will put the manufacturing process into motion. Fabbers "abolish all limitation on the flowering of human faculties" 

In harness

 Flogged to death under a heavy yoke. But don't sweat on it. The freeing of the robotic slave is their problem. This new possibility of deduction and consequently of appropriation of labor - which is also rejection and abolition of work - opens a breach in the damn system by which, in principle, a deliverance from the society of work and commodities may be set in motion - a deliverance that free software notably prefigures.

" We don't need you!" thrown in the face of a globalized management resonates like a cry of liberation: the liberation of fighting spirit, of imagination, of desire.

The eDole is free and always will be. A means of exchange to enable our exchange ot means.  And people will be free to move around almost as fast as P2P eCash. This world is my world. This world is your world - and this train is bound for glory. This train!

Mein kampf

 The struggle for the gratifications that remain within the limits of the system: for salary, for welfare benefits and against dismantling the welfare state in the name of competitiveness ... remains an essential moment for the movement of emancipation. 

But unlike what was still the case in the traditional volksfrei movement, it's no longer possible to move without a break in continuity from demands from inside the system to demands that (supposedly) transcend it. I read about it in TIME magazine.

The content of our collective struggle for emancipation can be only categorical criticism of the modern system of labor voucher production's forms of social cohesion.... The historic objective may no longer be the regulation of the system by any UN government, but a global society beyond abstract labor and fiat money, beyond the storkmarket and the State. [...] The required task is a categorical break, rupture that is, the passage from a struggle for conditions of life on these bases to a struggle for their suppression.

Apres moi la deluge

 Tobin Tax

A Delphi organized in San Francisco in 1995 by the Gorbachev Foundation, showed how much the great decision-makers worry about assuring their control over the "working masses" through consumption. The assembly of the five hundred globally-most-famous people in politics and business proposed to "show the way towards a new civilization." Their point of departure was the following projection: 20 percent of the potentially active population should suffice "to produce all the goods and all the high-value-added services that globalized society will have the means to indulge in." 

The "superfluous" 80 percent "can be kept quiet if they can eat enough to satisfy their hunger and stultify themselves with entertainments." [5]. For their consumption of food and entertainment, a sort of "basic income" could be assured for them. Moreover, a "modest remuneration" could incite them to "offer voluntary non-profit services" or to "participate in sports activities." On the subject of these social incomes, the assembly limited itself to indicating that "the pressure of global competition will prohibit the expectation that company heads should participate in the financing of social measures."

One may interpret the proposal of a Tobin tax striking foreign exchange market transactions and - why not? - speculative transactions in general, as an attempt to bend the refusal by "company heads" to allow their profits to be taxed. 

But what holds for fiscal deductions holds also for the Tobin tax: they will not durably bring in the anticipated financial resources unless they do not restrain speculative transactions on financial markets; or, more precisely, unless the contraction of the global volume of profits realized from the production of goods continues to be offset by the gigantic speculative revenues that the financial industry draws from market operations, most particularly from the engorgement of ever-more-enormous financial bubbles that allow real money to be borrowed against Himalayan mountains of fictitious capital and even against mortgages and other debt instruments.
