I had this frustration when working with this musicians advocacy group. They were stuck in this kind of unimaginative worker / bosses trope when it was clearly more of a tenant / digital landlord argument they were trying to make.

I feel however that I was pretty sold on the Cleveland Model for applications of libertarian municipalism-like organizations, but DOGE really makes that seem much less possible

To that I say, we need it all! We need public schooling that is well funded and regularly updated. We need private schools that can experiment and model new education solutions. And most of all, we need give young people the keys to choose how they learn and work to remove the barriers in their way.

There are also less conspiracy reasons. Academic communists seem to purposefully create a high barrier of entry through various mechianisms, mostly sorting out those with a low threshold for boredom. But as a youth worker there is def an uptick in those passionate for the label but not the ideology.

I have an impression that this is phenomenon is mostly by design, or by competition of designs. The uptick in online communism could be a psyop from Russia to undermine US propaganda, and it becoming memefied being by design by the US to take the teeth out of it.

The most compelling theory i’ve seen is:

-New owners own Sands Casinos / The Venetian.

-They want to gain leverage to build casino in Texas, which was already rejected.

-They are building hatred around the team to threaten moving them to Vegas.

-TX might allow casino to appease owners.

has to be Norm

i think sarcasm
