one of the core premises of marxism–in fact, i’ll argue thecore premise, if you had to boil it down to just one thing–is that advancements in the means of production will create both a proletarian class and the means by which it can liberate itself. marxism is not about ‘undoing’ capitalism, and if you believe your socialism or anarchism is about ‘returning’ to something, you’re not left-wing, you’re nakedly reactionary. the marxist view on new divisions of labour and extractive technologies should not be ‘how do we destroy or revert this’ but ‘how do we turn this advancement towards our common betterment and liberation’
