    The more technology advances, the more convinced I become that capitalism should not be let anywhere near it

        I like the way you think.

        Being the menshevik that I am, I would think that it’s OK to let little small time capitalists play with their sand toys, let them set up little lemonade stands and juice carts and little tavernas and what have you, so long as they’re not anywhere near society’s critical path. Low tech, low impact stuff is OK.

          I’m on board with that. I’d argue that’s the difference between capitalism and commercialism, but I also don’t want to split hairs when we already agree on which direction we’d like things to go.
