- Hmm, take back my original comment a bit (see 2025-05-18).
- It's taken a turn into pretty dry dialogue as a vehicle for exposition of the ideas. Earlier on it felt a bit more… dynamic.
- Still, the ideas are interesting nonetheless.
- Read: Techno-feudalism or Platform Capitalism? Conceptualising the Digital Society
- Good look at various claims that current Big Tech platforms have 'killed' capitalism and turned it into something worse (technofeudalism, vectoralism, etc).
- Jeremy Gilbert's opinion is no, it's still capitalism, rather a new 'regime of accumulation' - i.e. platform capitalism.
- Fine. But it all strikes me as a bit internal nitpicking. Does it actually help us do anything about it?
- I think the argument would be, yes, you kind of need to understand precisely what it is in order to counter it.
- Maybe.
- Fordism. Post-Fordism.
