Maybe spend a bit less time telling me why "democratic capitalism" is bad, and a bit more time telling me why your system is good.<p>You fail to tell me what actual mechanisms you're proposing to fix this, and until you've got that you've got nothing.<p>Is it just a call to action? Asking people in tech to think about the problems?<p>Because the people who were inclined to think about this already are, whether it's Charles Stross talking about interfacing centrally planned economies with capitalism in his novels, or the pirate party working on fluid democracy.<p>I'm also not convinced your socialist/communist political theory is up-to-snuff. No one is arguing that the capture-value/create-value disparity isn't a big problem, but claiming that it's all because of human-selfishness instead of more nuanced coordination problems is concerning.<p>Read meditations on moloch, and less communism 102. Don't make an ideological tract, try to build something.
Hi,<p>I created Open Socialism as a compelling alternative to democratic capitalism.<p>Democratic capitalism had some good years and achieved a lot, but it has started to be highly inequitable and exploitative. With modern technology and science (including agile and open source practices) we can create much more equitable and productive systems.<p>I created a tl;dr page for software industry people - <a href="https://opensocialism.com/tldr-for-software-people" rel="nofollow">https://opensocialism.com/tldr-for-software-people</a><p>I have written a moderate amount but it is more a starting point to be iterated upon. Any feedback or help is greatly appreciated.<p><a href="https://github.com/open-socialism/open-socialism.github.io" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/open-socialism/open-socialism.github.io</a><p>Happy to answer any questions in the comments.<p>Thanks
Have you read a good part of the canonical literature against socialism/communism? Because you make a lot of points that have been discussed in the past, and you don't address the criticisms.
