- Reposted by Aaron BenanavThe reduction of collective life by both capitalist and state-socialist economies to a single criterion excludes the possibility of addressing human needs.

- Reading the ultra wealthy complain about a French wealth tax proposal (“It’s collectivism, it’s communism . . . it’s a fundamental attack on my freedom and right to property.”) brings a little warmth and joy to my otherwise cold and sad heart.
- Reposted by Aaron BenanavI really enjoyed reading @abenanav.bsky.social’s vision for a new kind of economic system — one where we have more authority over production and more freedom in our lives. It entails using technology in a very different want, and by extension building it much differently too.

- Reposted by Aaron BenanavWhat is happening in Gaza is horror. The killing of innocent children there should rip our hearts straight from our chests. I am deeply shameful that my government supports this and that my society has allowed our elites to use Palestinian lives like pawn pieces in domestic and foreign politics.
