“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Capitalist vs Communist Robots

"Human uniqueness is a bourgeois construct and must be smashed. Just consider the Russian for worker! Capitalism is an out of control machine sent to destroy us from a machinic futurity. Just consider marketing algorithms!"

Is this talking about the uniqueness of individuals, or human exceptionalism? I think the former could just be clarified so it's understood not to mean specialness. The latter is doing a pretty good job of smashing itself & everything else with it.

Now I have to plug in the code to prove I'm not an anarchosyndicalist robot.
