Never in a billion years sis I think that I would agree with Steve Bannon on something.

@CountScrofula I've been reading into Peter Theil.and Curtis Yarvin. It's on public record what they want and that is clearly what musk is enacting. How successful it will be, we don't know. We should be worried though.

@Burnley123 Oh yeah the dark enlightenment stuff is uh wild. JD Vance is very much their creature.

@thrash I'm just worried about the future.

@Burnley123 technofeudalism seems like fancy rewording/rebranding of communism..............

@thrash Marx's theory of societal change was about how technological changed economic relationships. Therefore there was a new balance of power that resulted in revolution and societal change. Marx envisaged industrialisation and an empowered working class carrying out a socialist revolution

Let's stick with the first part. We have seen technological change (crypto, cloud-capitalism, social media, AI) and changes in social relations (the decline in the power of organised labour and nation states). Power in society had shifted fundamentally. The difference is that this attempted revolution is coming from above, not below

@CountScrofula Mate, I've had the same reaction. I can't explain this to people I knew without looking like I've gone off the deep end

@Richard65 Bannon has a twisted ideology.

The reactionary smart guys are the tech oligarchs. The have tremendous power and they are winning .

I don't think that there will be a civil war on the on right just yet. These forces have common enemies and Bannon is nothing without Trump.
