re-reading this suddenly snaps me to Dan Shefet

(setting aside the overly dramatic and emotional framing)

if Zuboff’s concern were actually surveillance and control, central bank digital currencies would be chapter one

but… she’s never criticised CBDCs.

golly, it’s another one of them coincidences

another fraud working for central bankers

her book was published in 2019, and she hasn’t uttered a word on CBDCs, neither in that book, nor since then.

what an extraordinary coincidence!

i had no idea this would come in handy this soon

her solutions, in essence, are ‘new digital institutions’, ‘democratic governance of the digital’, ‘digital’, ‘digital’…

never ‘preserve cash’, ‘opt out’, ‘refuse digital id’

no, she’s essentially advocating you accept your place in the AI-run (Genesis Mission) digital empire of tomorrow

that’s ‘democratic’ to her central bank funders

foreign nations are going to be in jail?

https://t.me/disclosetv/19289

she’s a Neo-Marxist pretending she’s not.

thank you for that, you fraud.

that wouldn’t happen to be lenin’s accounting and control, now would it?

book’s over here ftr

ok the book doesnt actually explain i can only assume it’s accounting and control, fits the bill

https://archive.org/details/UtopianThoughtInTheWesternWorld/page/20/mode/2up?q=applied+utopistics

and she follows up with classic projection.

no, the capitalists will arrive with a pragmatic product, not ‘in absence of an explicit and contestable theory’

she’s describing her own brand of grossly dishonest marxism

oh you mean ‘cosmopolitan democracy’?

https://escapekey.substack.com/p/cosmopolitan-democracy?utm_source=publication-search

right, as per f’in usual, all i see is opaque phrasing.

hey Gemini, is “applied utopistics Lenin’s Accounting and Control”

of course it bloody is.

wait, im now at page 322 of her ‘book’ and it’s still just criticism of ‘surveillance capitalism’

just like Marx!

“It's like looking through the menu at a Scottish restaurant: not much in it and nothing you want”

another inversion.

“we need to restore what we had” = we need to reform the system to become one that never was.

it’s just these deceitful lies all over once you spot it.

oh wow James Burnham’s Managerialism even finds a way into this loathsome trash
