What I never quite understand/know is where internet based services land. If I run a cloud based storage company / web design company or such, the servers are on my personal property and therefore should be considered allowed. Where does that start becoming non "personal."
It's like charging someone to park their ideas/data on my personal property. Which I imagine would be considered private property instead. Where is the nuanced line?
We're communicating using the fediverse. I can use my own private instance to connect, but in my case I am using a "collective" instance. While capitalism sees the Lemmy Blahaj as a "private enterprise", it is functionally more akin to a free associative collective where members can take their content with them.
I would say part of the confusion is because our technology has evolved in a capitalist context, collectivism isn't the default state of being so the solutions made cater towards (corporate) private ownership.
Wrong. Personal property is owned by an individual person. Private property is owned by corporations/ capital. It's impossible for one to magically change into the other.
IDK, maybe we could decide such things similar to how we're having this conversation and we're able to upvote on what's being said. Totally unprecedented I know.
Socialism is when you don’t have to do alienated work. And when noone else has to.
Of course the productivity will be higher if you share the means of production with others.
But it’s perfectly fine to work on your own too and harvest the fruit of your work.
As you know, nobody gets rich by his own hands work, but you can get along.
Capitalist exploitation starts when other people work for you and when you take the added value for your own benefits.
