9 days agoWe literally can’t share the economy under capitalism. Capitalism is a tool, but it’s a tool limited by its purpose.
Just like you can’t use a hammer to solder a circuit board, you can’t use capitalism to create a sharing economy.

Capital abhors decentralization and always works towards centralization and monopolization.
That means 5 people owning everything on a long enough time scale. Then 4, then 3, etc.
This is exactly what I thought of when I read it. Although moneyed interests always have ways of influencing politics, a decision like this will help the bosses more than the unions.
