Violence isn’t necessary if the bourgeoisie voluntarily give up their power.

So. Uh. Yeah. It’s something we need to be prepared to think about and possibly act upon.

Idk it seems like getting the whole planned economy thing right would have been enough motive. If they’d managed big data and applied it to scientific socialism they’d have been unstoppable.

Of course you don’t know what you don’t know.

I wrote a couple bash scripts and some basic JavaScript to use yt-dlp to get my music and apply tags and covers to it and place it in folders. Works on a phone too.

[Edit]

I’ll also point out on the moral issue touched on here:

I worked in media distribution for nearly 15 years. I also worked in film and tv post production for a good while.

I know people who live out of suitcases that have Oscars or Emmys or both. They’ll have a set of business cards for every city so they can pretend they live there and just get on a plane if they get a call from someone.

It’s a fucked business.

Go ahead and pirate. The people that made it all possible already got (under)paid. You have my blessing.
