    Talking about capitalism dying… on YouTube. Could you at least find a non-big tech option to help speed that death along? Thanks!

    We live in techno fuedalism, where rather than two parties exchanging value holding assets, now a tech billionaire sets the price for the seller and buyer, via owning a “marketplace” such as ebay, amazon, steam, temu, ect… They also take a cut of every transaction.

    This is no longer a two party free exchange of goods, such as idealized under Capitalism, it’s a different system.

    It’s what Yanis Varifakous calls Techno fuedalism. Hence the Oligarchs feeling invincible and more worthy than everyone else.

      it is a natural outgrowth of capitalism but it is not the death of capitalism.

      you can still go out and purchase the means of production in a 2 party free exchange.
