“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

haha ok there’s only 330 pages to this book… and i was still searching for genuine recommendations on page 322.

figures.

exactly like marx. spend all the time whining about what you don’t want and ‘forget’ to explain what you do want, and how it will work.

and in marx’s case - how it will ‘wither away’ in practise.

ooo… she did a 1988 paper which sounds… Fragment on Machines’ish…

‘Informating’

possible even cybernetics/general systems theory

looks like we have ourselves a very interesting match

i have read a lot of books. still do. blows my mind Zuboff’s a harvard professor.

it’s typical, hysterical, overly emotional hard-left trash, trying to make you angry so that you forget to ask the crucial questions.

but she doesn’t have marx’s finesse. i dont know if that’s a positive or negative, tbqh.

let me guess - what she wants is people ‘without ego’, right?

that would fit right in with moses hess and michael laitman

now on page 109 and there’s STILL NO DEFINITION.

well, i mean, it leans heavily up against ‘rights and responsibilities’ as you’d expect out of a commie.

how the hell can you write SIXTEEN PAGES without a bloody definition of the ‘new laws’ in anything but abstract terms?

haha, she’s pro-NGOs. of course she is.

Surveillance NGO-ism.

‘deeply aware of own subjectivity’ = so a cosmopolitan idiot who abides the ‘global ethic’, then?

come on, just admit it already.

inching closer - now at ‘narcissism’

more on ‘narcissism'

‘producers see us… producers are narcissists’

egoists. come on, admit it.

i mean, what the f- is this bs?

if those firms didn’t produce what people were willing to buy, some other company would - taking the customers with them.

what she’s really trying to say is that SHE decides what ‘value’ is, no doubt.

bored now. i assume she’s on about stakeholder capitalism in renamed form?

final one. it’s not capitalism, it’s not socialism, it’s - yeah - a third… force!

at least she found a new word instead of 'way'.

so she’s an eduard bernstein ‘social democrat’ pretending she’s not in later works.

public-private partnerships for the ‘common good’

which NGO decides what’s for the ‘common good’… and who funds them?
